Georgia Bulldogs losing talent to the NFL

Devonte Wyatt is the latest in a long line of Bulldogs to move on with their football careers. Earlier this week, multiple stars revealed their intentions to take their talents to the next level.

On the defensive side of the football, Wyatt leaves Georgia with players like linebacker Nakobe Dean and defensive back Lewis Cine, among others. If the Bulldogs want to replicate their success, the team is going to have to find suitable replacements all over the unit.

On the other side of the ball, star wide receiver George Pickens announced he was entering the 2022 NFL Draft. While he missed most of the season with an injury, Pickens made a return in time to be on the field for Georgia when it mattered most. It was a storybook ending to a nightmare season for Pickens.

From Wyatt to Dean to Pickens, Georgia has plenty of holes to fill. Still, the Bulldogs will enjoy their title while looking towards staying at the top in the future.
