Georgia running back Zamir “Zeus” White was selected with the 122nd pick in the 2022 NFL draft by the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday.
It was on the 17th pick of the fourth round that Georgia had its tenth player this year get drafted into the NFL. White’s selection officially breaks the program record UGA set last year when it had nine players selected.
White, a 6-foot, 214 running back who hails from Laurinburg, North Carolina, has speed, versatility, and strength. He is a tough, downhill runner who has been compared to the likes of NFL backs such as Joe Mixon and Isaiah Crowell
In the 2021 season, White led all UGA running backs with 856 yards and 11 touchdowns on 160 carries.
