Mock Draft Madness: Which Dawgs Will Go First?
The 2026 NFL Combine kicked off with ten Georgia Bulldogs in attendance. Mel Kiper’s mock draft projects linebacker CJ Allen to land 15th overall with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while offensive tackle Monroe Freeling is pegged at 24th to the Cleveland Browns. Defensive lineman Christen Miller also garners first-round buzz from various outlets. Allen intends to skip on-field drills in Indianapolis, choosing to showcase his 40-yard dash at Georgia’s Pro Day. Last year, Georgia placed 13 players in the NFL draft; this season promises another strong class, possibly breaking multiple first-round selections yet again.
Welcome to the annual spectacle where armchair quarterbacks and draft gurus pretend they have any clue what pro GM war rooms will decide. Sure, CJ Allen and Monroe Freeling look like solid picks—until a random team drafts a kicker in the top ten just to prove a point. And the real MVP? Christen Miller, forgotten by Kiper but suddenly everyone’s first-round darling. Comedy gold when Allen strolls out of drills and tells everyone to watch next month’s backyard combine—because why showcase speed in front of NFL scouts when you can do it at a barbecue?
New Falcons Regime Fawns Over Georgia Bulldogs
After firing Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot, the Atlanta Falcons hired Kevin Stefanski as head coach and Ian Cunningham as general manager. Both praised Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs program, calling Georgia players “tough,” “pro ready,” and “mentally and physically disciplined.” The Falcons haven’t had a first-round pick this draft, but their new leadership vows to target Georgia talent in future drafts. Last season, Georgia had 13 players drafted; this year, they sent ten to the combine.
Nothing says “fresh start” like a new coach and GM gushing over the competition’s finest talent. “We love their toughness,” says Stefanski as he quietly drafts players only to watch them dominate against his own team. Meanwhile, Cunningham claims Bulldogs are pro-ready—code for “we’ll snag them, plug them into our defense, and hope they fix our mess.” Here’s hoping Atlanta’s new regime downloads YouTube highlights quickly, because relying on local college tape might leave them perpetually drafting that one punter who hilariously questioned ice cream toppings.
Punters and Puns: Thorson’s Dessert Diss
Georgia punter Brett Thorson joked about former teammate Kamari Lassiter’s dessert habits at the 2026 NFL Combine, mocking Lassiter for adding whipped cream to ice cream. Thorson, hoping to be the first Bulldog kicker drafted since 2022, has been a fan favorite for his vibrant personality and key punts that often shifted field position. Lassiter was selected by the Houston Texans in 2024; Thorson aims to follow in those footsteps.
In the high-stakes world of NFL interviews, who needs X-rays and pro drills when you can roast a friend’s dessert choices? Kudos to Thorson for combining punting prowess with savage culinary critique—it’s the kind of locker-room chemistry every NFL team needs. Imagine the Texans’ war room: “We need a kicker who can pin ‘em inside the 20…and dunk whipped cream off our rival’s ice cream.” Let’s hope Thorson punts as fiercely as he delivers dessert disses. Next up: halfback roasts on dipping cones into nacho cheese.
Bulldogs vs. Trojans: Georgia’s One-Game Showdown
Georgia baseball hosts Troy for a one-game series, aiming for a fifth straight win after a dominant 45–5 sweep of Samford. The Bulldogs’ offense has been scorching, including a 22-run outburst with six homers in game three. Standouts Kolby Branch and Tre Phelps are on home run and hitting streaks, respectively. Starter Justin Byrd leads Georgia’s mound, while LHP Brock Tapper opens for Troy. The Dawgs eye a rankings climb as UCLA and Georgia Tech faltered.
Baseball fans rejoice: one might actually finish this preview before the first pitch. Nothing like a single-game series to savor every pitch – because who needs a full series marathon when you can binge-watch eight hours of highlights instead? With Branch swinging hot enough to cook breakfast and Phelps quietly stalking the hits charts, Georgia’s lineup is a living deodorant commercial—hot and unbreakable. Troy’s pitching might be the perfect foil: plenty of runs for both teams to chase.
Bowers Blows Away Teammate: Prospective NFL Reacts
At the 2026 NFL Combine, Georgia linebacker CJ Allen revealed that tight end Brock Bowers “blew him away” in college with his relentless work ethic and athleticism. Bowers, a three-time All-American, broke Bulldogs’ tight end records before being a first-round 2024 NFL pick. Allen, projected a first-round talent himself, aims to continue Georgia’s streak of producing NFL-ready linebackers under coach Kirby Smart.
Nothing like a rookie linebacker confessing that his former teammate made him question his own existence. Allen’s confession: “I realized this is serious” when Bowers turned practices into a personal obstacle course. Translation: if you sat next to Bowers at the buffet, you’d still feel inferior. We all await the sequel in which Allen attempts to outwork Bowers on NFL practice squads nationwide—spoiler: good luck lacing up those cleats to match that supernatural stamina.
