Georgia Bulldogs’ defense breaks NFL draft record with 5 first-rounders
The nation's best defense from the nation's best team was rewarded for its work in the opening round of the NFL draft.
Five Georgia defensive players were selected in the first round Thursday night, a record from one defense in the common draft era. The total eclipsed the four Florida State defenders selected in the first round of the 2006 draft and the four Miami defenders selected in the first round of the 2004 draft.
The Bulldogs led the nation in scoring defense (10.2 points per game) this past season as they surrendered only 16 touchdowns all season. Georgia sacked Alabama quarterback Bryce Young four times in the national championship game on the way to the team's first national title since 1980.
