The National Champion Georgia Bulldogs could have as many as 15 players selected in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Fourteen of those players were invited to show off their skills at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis last week. Two of those players looking to increase their draft stock were Bulldogs running backs James Cook and Zamir White.

Both put up impressive numbers that were in line with some of the great Georgia running backs--i.e. Nick Chubb, D'Andre Swift--with White running a 4.40-second 40-yard dash and Cook running 4.42.

So, which Bulldogs' back goes first in this year's draft? Emory Hunt of CBS Sports HQ joined the Midday Show and had a clear answer.

"I've been on this train for awhile now; I'm going with Zamir White," Hunt told Andy and Randy. "I'm a big fan of what he brings to the table."

"He plays the pro game already. I think he was able to showcase his ability as a pass receiver at the Combine because he didn't catch a lot of passes at Georgia. He's an explosive guy, he's strong, he's someone that wants to get better."

"Let's say, I'm Atlanta, and I've got a need a running back, why not get both guys? I feel like Cook is someone that's more of a spot player...where as Zamir White is someone you just roll out there and just play ball."
