The Atlanta Falcons made some Georgia Bulldogs fans happy in the NFL draft. Atlanta selected Georgia tight end John FitzPatrick and offensive guard Justin Shaffer.
The Falcons picked FitzPatrick in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL draft with the No. 213 pick.
FitzPatrick is a strong blocking tight end and could be more of a receiving threat this upcoming season. FitzPatrick played through a foot injury during much of the 2021 football season with Georgia.
