The Georgia Bulldogs are heading to the national championship game after dominating Michigan 34-11 in the Orange Bowl.
Several players had standout performances, most notably linebacker Nakobe Dean and running back James Cook; both entering the 2022 NFL Draft. Their play so impressive that ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay took notice.
Dean had seven tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack and forced fumble for Georgia's defense. The Wolverines didn't score their lone touchdown until four minutes left of the game.
Could Dean land in New York where Pro Football Focus says the Jets at No. 7 could have use for a linebacker with "freak athleticism and instincts" whose "blitzing prowess and coverage ability are second to none."
Of what about the Philadelphia? CBS Sports believes the Eagles "could use Dean in the middle of their D" at No. 14.
Meanwhile, Cook had 145 yards on the ground and a touchdown for the Dawgs' offense. In a separate tweet, McShay saying Cook is the most underrated RB in the 2022 draft class. What round do you think he elevated himself to following his performance?
The Bulldogs will face Alabama for the chance at the National title on January 12 in Indianapolis.
