Georgia Bulldogs in the NFL continued to make a significant impact across the league in Week 7. Former Georgia Bulldogs Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Nolan Smith, Nakobe Dean, D’Andre Swift, and Kelee Ringo all played a role in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 31-17 win over the Miami Dolphins. The Eagles have the best record in the NFL and the most former Dawgs of any NFL team.
Additionally, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith continues to shine. Smith is arguably the top linebacker in the NFL. He displayed excellent leadership as the Ravens crushed the Detroit Lions.
Wide receiver Mecole Hardman made his debut with the Kansas City Chiefs after the New York Jets traded him. Let’s take a look at how former Georgia Bulldogs in the NFL performed in Week 7:
