The Philadelphia Eagles: Flockin' to the Georgia Bulldogs Like Tourists to Waffle House
The Philadelphia Eagles' love affair with the Georgia Bulldogs is the stuff of legend (and maybe a little creepy). Over the past few years, they've been snatching up UGA players like complimentary mints at a dentist's office. But just how deep does this love go? Let's grab our magnifying glasses (because apparently, size does matter... to the Eagles' scouting department), and dive into the data.
How Many Bulldogs Have Flown the Coop to Philly?
Hold onto your cheese steaks, folks, because this number is getting yuge (and yes, that's the technical term). The Eagles have snagged a whopping five Georgia Bulldogs in the last two drafts. That's right, five! That's more Bulldogs than a high school mascot convention.
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
Here's the breakdown:
- 2022 Draft:
- Jordan Davis: Defensive Tackle (Drafted 13th overall)
- Nakobe Dean: Linebacker (Drafted in the 3rd round)
- 2023 Draft:
- Jalen Carter: Defensive Tackle (Drafted 9th overall)
- Nolan Smith: Defensive End (Drafted 30th overall)
- Kelee Ringo: Cornerback (Drafted in the 4th round)
Is This Just a Weird Coincidence, or is There Something in the Water in Athens?
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
Honestly, it's starting to look like the Eagles have a direct pipeline from Athens to Philadelphia. Maybe they have a secret "We Want Bulldogs" hotline set up in the GM's office? Or perhaps they've discovered a hidden portal that leads straight to Kirby Smart's living room (where they can catch recruits in their PJs). Whatever the reason, it's clear the Eagles have a type, and that type wears red and black.

Is This a Sign of Genius, or a Desperate Attempt to Build a Team Entirely Out of Bulldogs?
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
Only time will tell. On the one hand, the Georgia Bulldogs are a powerhouse program, so there's definitely talent there. But on the other hand, relying so heavily on one school can be risky. What happens if the Bulldogs have a down year, or the Eagles' scouting reports turn out to be as accurate as a fortune cookie?
Either way, one thing's for sure: Eagles fans better get used to seeing a lot of red and black at Lincoln Financial Field. And maybe invest in some good earplugs, because "Glory, Glory" is about to be on repeat.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
