The third day of the NFL draft kicked off on Saturday and another Georgia Bulldog is off the board. The Green Bay Packers have selected defensive lineman Warren Brinson in the sixth round.

Warren Brinson is poised to make a strong impression in the NFL, not just with his physical presence on the defensive line, but with the leadership and experience he brings from his time at Georgia. Known for his maturity and work ethic, Brinson is expected to take on a leadership role early in his NFL career setting the tone in the locker room and on the field.

What’s really going to elevate Brinson’s game at the next level was his decision to return to Georgia last season. That move paid off in a big way. Brinson earned significantly more reps last year, allowing him to develop consistency, refine his technique, and sharpen his instincts in real time game situations. That extra year not only prepared him mentally for the NFL grind, but gave him the on field experience that scouts and coaches love to see.

One area where Brinson particularly excelled was in run defense. He became a reliable force up front, consistently stopping the run and closing off lanes before they could develop. If offenses tried to challenge him by running right at him, Brinson stood his ground and held the edge. His containment skills kept big plays from breaking outside, and his discipline made it difficult for opponents to exploit his side of the line.

Brinson may not be the flashiest name in this class, but don’t be surprised if he quickly becomes a fan favorite. With his blend of leadership, experience, and ability to stop the run, he’s the kind of steady presence that can anchor a defensive front for years to come.
