Georgia is losing most of its record-setting 2021 defense, including the Maxwell Award winner, Outland Trophy award winner and first-team All-American, defensive lineman Jordan Davis.
Davis has an early first-round NFL draft grade and is currently preparing for this year’s combine, which will be held in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium from March 1 to March 7, televised on the NFL Network.
It’s easy to see why Davis is such a coveted prospect from this workout video posted to his coaches’ Twitter account this week.

The unique blend of size, power and speed is what will make Davis a good pro player.
In NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah’s latest mock draft, Davis is selected by the New England Patriots with the 21st overall pick.
The Charlotte, N.C., native racked up 32 tackles, five tackles for loss, two sacks and a pass breakup, along with two blocked field goals in 2021.
