Tate Ratledge is unsurprisingly headed to the 2025 NFL Draft after a very successful career with the Georgia Bulldogs as one of the team’s most essential pieces, especially when it came to the pass protection upfront. The run game was also even further opened up because of Ratledge’s performance in the trenches.
Ratledge recently accepted an invite from the Senior Bowl, which is essentially considered to be the ultimate commitment to going on to the professional league at this point. Tate Ratledge is the first member of the Georgia football team to accept an invite to participate in the showcase, which will move forward in the winter as one of the most highly heralded in the nation.
Over the course of 13 games through the season, Ratledge has played 9 of those, which included 8 starts. Any games he did not play were due to injury. According to Pro Football Focus, Ratledge has posted an 82.9 pass-blocking grade and a 73.6 run-blocking grade.
Where he lands in April will be something that remains to be seen, but there is no question he will make a quick impact in the interior of an offensive line of an NFL team. Before that, he’ll try to keep powering the Bulldog offense toward a potential national championship.
Georgia’s next step comes in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame on New Year’s Day.
