The Georgia Bulldogs have a pretty wild streak, showing just how much talent they send to the NFL each season. For 25 years in a row, there has been at least one former Georgia player on a team playing in the Super Bowl. The fun fact: it’s the longest active streak of its kind in the country. Let’s revisit all the Dawgs legends.

This year’s big game was all about keeping the tradition alive. Notably, Nebraska previously held the all-time record for the longest streak of 26 consecutive Super Bowls (1994–2019) with their players, which ended in 2020. With the New England Patriots’ win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship, rookie Jared Wilson ensured the streak would continue as his team advanced to the Super Bowl.

The former Dawg made some history today by becoming the first player to ever wear a protective Guardian Cap during a Super Bowl game. He’s played 13 games this season at left tackle, only giving up 4 sacks in 784 offensive snaps.

On the Seattle side, Kenny McIntosh is unfortunately spending today on the sidelines. He had a solid 2024 season, averaging 5.5 yards per carry, but a torn ACL in July 2025 ended his 2025 season before it could even start.

Even with one player on the field and one on the mend, the Dawgs have an undeniable impact on this game. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald and Patriots coach Thomas Brown both have deep roots in Athens. Here is the list of players:

Georgia Bulldogs-NFL pipeline: NFL’s favorite college destination

Georgia’s football program has basically become a ‘pro factory’ under head coach Kirby Smart. The Bulldogs have had 62 players drafted into the NFL since 2020, more than any other school in the country. They even set an all-time record in 2022, when 15 players were selected in a single draft.

When this (2025-2026) season kicked off, there were around the ballpark of 57 former Bulldogs on active NFL rosters. This marks an active NFL roster, a solid increase of 11 players from the previous year. That puts Georgia right at the top of the league, actually tied with Ryan Day’s Ohio State for ranking second behind Alabama.

It’s gotten to the point where if you’re watching an NFL game on Sunday, there’s a nearly 75% chance that at least one Georgia player is on the field, as they’re spread across 24 different teams.

Some NFL teams have a serious ‘Georgia crush.’ The Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers are the biggest fans, each carrying eight former Bulldogs on their rosters following the 2025 draft. The Eagles have famously built their entire defensive core around “Dawgs” like Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Nakobe Dean, making them feel like a professional version of the Athens squad.

The sheer volume of talent is staggering, with 13 first-round picks in just four years. This pipeline doesn’t just produce numbers; it produces stars. This season alone, former Bulldog Matthew Stafford earned the NFL MVP award, while six others, including rookie Brock Bowers, were named to the Pro Bowl.

Looking ahead, the pipeline isn’t slowing down one bit. For the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, experts are already projecting at least three more first-rounders from Georgia, betting on the likes of linebacker CJ Allen. While some scouts think 2026 might be a “down year” for the program, they’re still expecting around 8 to 11 total players to be drafted. That should put them in the top 3, hopefully.

The curious case of top Georgia players in the NFL

What makes Georgia players tick in the NFL is that they’ve basically been pros since they were 18. Head coach Kirby Smart runs the program like an NFL franchise, focusing on a “good-on-good” practice style. This means the best offensive players go full-speed against the best defensive players every single day.

One of the most important factors is that Georgia’s known for producing “freakish” athletes, particularly in the front seven. Scouts value them because they arrive with NFL-level size and technique. No wonder players like Carter and Jordan Davis were able to dominate in the league from the start of their careers.

That makes teams not bat an eye when picking Bulldogs. Teams like the Philadelphia Eagles had the most Georgia-heavy rosters, with 7 to 8 players. The Green Bay Packers come second with six former Bulldogs, including Eric Stokes and Quay Walker. All in all, Athens is the closest thing to the NFL in the college football realm.
