The Georgia Bulldogs won the National Championship over the Alabama Crimson Tide this past Monday. The Bulldogs enjoyed one of the best seasons in program history, though their efforts to repeat their National Championship win got more difficult following the announcement of multiple NFL Draft decisions, as reported by ESPN.
Junior Zamir White, the team's leading rusher this past season, announced Friday that he's entering the NFL draft. Senior James Cook announced earlier this week that he is leaving with one season of eligibility remaining. Meanwhile, Lewis Cine, who is the No. 4 safety available for the draft, according to Mel Kiper Jr., also announced on Friday he is entering the NFL draft.
Georgia running backs Zamir White and James Cook, as well as safety Lewis Cine, announced their intentions to enter the NFL Draft following their National Championhip win.
White and Cook led the Bulldogs' top-ranked running game in rushing yards, with White ranking 15th in Georgia school history for rushing yards.
Cook already has an NFL pedigree, as he is the younger brother of Minnesota Vikings star halfback Dalvin Cook. The loss of these two talented rushers will be a big blow to Georgia's National Championship defense in 2022.
The keys to the Georgia backfield will be handed to the likes of Kenny McIntosh, Kendall Milton and Daijun Edwards.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs also took a blow to their defense, as Cine, who led the team with nine pass breakups this year, is also headed for the NFL. Cine is the number-four ranked safety in the draft, per ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.
Goergia's title defense got a whole lot harder after these NFL Draft decisions.
