Georgia had 13 players taken in the 2025 NFL Draft. Prior to 2022, that would be one of the best draft hauls in the history of the event. But the Bulldogs had 15 players selected that year, setting a national and school record.

It’s safe to say that 13 players drafted is one heck of a draft haul. Throw in the fact that Georgia had six players go in the first two days and it looks even better. Most of those players gave at least three years of their lives to the football program. Only two of them were guys who transferred in.

All of them, however, have a chance to make life-changing money. With that in mind, DawgsHQ is providing a rundown of what each of those Georgia players can expect to make on their rookie deals per spotrac.com.
