ESPN predicts surprising Georgia Bulldog will go undrafted
TL;DR
ESPN predicts that Georgia offensive guard Micah Morris will go undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, despite his impressive college performance and athleticism. If this occurs, it would mark the lowest number of drafted Bulldogs since 2018.
ESPN NFL draft expert Matt Miller did a seven-round 2026 NFL mock draft and has just seven Georgia Bulldogs being drafted. If seven Dawgs end up being drafted, then that would be Georgia's lowest total since the 2018 NFL draft when six Georgia players were selected.
Miller surprisingly thinks that Georgia offensive guard Micah Morris will go undrafted. Morris going undrafted would be a bit shocking for many Bulldog fans. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound offensive lineman has excellent size and was the Bulldogs' only offensive lineman to play and start in all 14 games during the 2025 college football season.
Morris has over 35 games of college experience including 19 starts. He helped Georgia have an improved rushing attack in 2025. Morris has experience, size and the athleticism to succeed at the next level. He tested well at the 2026 NFL combine and posted a 5.09 time (sixth-best among offensive guards) in the 40-yard dash including a 1.73-second 10-yard split (fourth-best among all offensive linemen).

According to Pro Football Focus, Morris allowed no sacks over the past three seasons in over 900 pass block snaps. He allowed just 11 pressures. Morris graduated from Georgia in 2023 and has been visiting with several different NFL teams ahead of the draft.
So why is Morris' draft stock not sky-high ahead of the draft? ESPN named Morris as one of the draft's more polarizing prospects, which notes that Morris has plenty of talent, with Jeremy Fowler adding that "some teams have questions about his (Morris') work ethic" ahead of the draft.
One NFL scout that Fowler spoke with is more optimistic than Miller, who has Morris going undrafted. The scout says that Morris has moments of looking like a first-round pick, but will go "late Day 2 or early Day 3" in the draft. This projection seems more realistic. NFL teams are willing to take risks on players like Morris, who could take a leap with a bit more consistency. All it takes is one team to be high on Morris for him to go much earlier than expected.
We'll find out at the 2026 NFL draft, which will start on April 23 in Pittsburgh. No Georgia players are attending the draft.
