Georgia once again among the leaders in developing NFL draft picks

The 2026 NFL draft has come to a close with Buffalo linebacker Red Murdock earning the honor of being Mr. Irrelevant, as the Broncos made him the final pick in the draft.

The implications of this development extend beyond the immediate headlines. As details continue to emerge, the broader impact on the sports landscape becomes increasingly clear.

As for Georgia’s final pick off the board, that was Micah Morris. He came off the board in the sixth round to the Eagles. Morris was the eighth pick from Georgia in the 2026 NFL draft. In total, Kirby Smart has had 84 players drafted in his 10 years as coach. In that span, 30 of 32 franchises have taken a player from the University of Georgia. The Cowboys and Commanders are the two outliers in that regard.
