There’s one week until the NFL Draft, and ESPN’s Field Yates has released his top 150 NFL Draft prospects. It’s a list that features a number of Georgia players — seven, in fact.
Offensive tackle Monroe Freeling leads the way at No. 11. The 6-foot-7, 315-pounder, Yates’ No. 2 offensive tackle, wrapped up his third and final season with the Bulldogs by bringing in second-team All-SEC honors.
“With only 18 starts, Freeling is a greener prospect than almost any other player so far in this ranking,” Yates said. “I am bullish that Freeling has as much upside as any offensive lineman in this class; he has all the skills to be a longtime left tackle.”
Linebacker CJ Allen came in at No. 45 overall, making him Yates’ third-rated player at the position.
“The quarterback of Georgia’s defense in 2025, Allen is a slightly undersized inside linebacker,” Yates said. “He is a cerebral, standout communicator who has good range and strong instincts that show up often in run defense.”
One other player ranked in Yates’ top 50: defensive tackle Christen Miller, the No. 4 DT.
“Miller has excellent power to hold his ground, stay square and take on double-teams. He’s a stout, selfless run defender who made life better for linebackers behind him,” Yates wrote.
Here’s the full list of Georgia players in Yates’ top 150:
11. Monroe Freeling, OT
45. CJ Allen, LB
48. Christen Miller, DT
55. Zachariah Branch, WR
72. Oscar Delp, TE
114. Daylen Everette, CB
138. Colbie Young, WR
