Six UGA Stars Miss NFL Combine Cut
22 Feb
Summary
- Six Georgia Bulldogs were not invited to the NFL combine.
- These players will rely on their pro day for NFL scouts.
- Ten Bulldogs received combine invitations, a high number for the team.
As the 2026 NFL Combine approaches in Indianapolis, six former Georgia Bulldogs players will not be in attendance. These athletes did not receive invitations, despite their hopes of joining the National Football League. Their next opportunity to impress scouts will be Georgia's pro day, likely in March.
While missing the combine is a significant hurdle, it does not end their NFL aspirations. Players can still be drafted in April or secure a roster spot as an undrafted free agent. This year, 10 Bulldogs received combine invitations, reflecting the program's strong representation in college football.
Notable players who did not receive invitations include running backs Cash Jones and Josh McCray, wide receivers Noah Thomas and Cole Speer, long snapper Beau Gardner, and safety JaCorey Thomas. This situation highlights that not all collegiate stars receive combine recognition, yet many still find NFL opportunities, as seen with previous Bulldogs who made rosters after going undrafted.
