Jersey Numbers Revealed for Georgia's Five NFL First Rounders

Day one of the NFL Draft was as historic for the University of Georgia as many could've dreamed. The Bulldogs heard five names called on Thursday night in Las Vegas, all of which came from the historic 2021 Georgia defense. It is the first time in the Draft's history that five defenders from the same school were taken in the first round. It could've been six if not for the transfer of edge rusher Jermaine Johnson to Florida State following the 2020 season.
With all five first-round selections having held their introductory press conferences with their new teams, numbers have been revealed.
Travon Walker: Jacksonville Jaguars #44
Walker will keep the same number he wore at the University of Georgia, #44, as he begins his career in the National Football League. Walker became Georgia's fifth player to go number one overall in the NFL Draft.
