The Philadelphia Eagles dismantled the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX this past weekend to earn their second title victory and prevent the Chiefs from completing a historic three-peat. The victory avenged the loss the Eagles suffered to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.

Throughout the 2024 season, Philadelphia relied on numerous players that were once members of the Georgia Bulldogs and became somewhat synonymous with drafting former Bulldogs following their recent selections. This led to fans giving the team the nickname “Philly Dawgs”.

The Eagles’ reliance on former Georgia football players has not only become an excellent story in the sport but has also become a fantastic recruiting pitch for Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs and will likely continue to be in the future

All six of the former Georgia Bulldogs to win this year's Super Bowl were members of the Dawgs' historic 2021 team that won Georgia its first national title in more than 40 years. In addition to that, four of the six were first-round selections in their respective NFL Drafts.
