Georgia OLB Duo Drafted High
Georgia’s Leonard Floyd and Jordan Jenkins are two reasons the “Junkyard Dawgs” were rumored to be returning last year. Now, it’s their turn to make some noise in the NFL.
Prior to the start of the 2016 NFL draft on Thursday evening, all signs pointed to Georgia football alumni in this year’s draft performing well. Signs also pointed to the New York Giants taking Leonard Floyd.
Some of these signs pointed to the truth while the chances of others happening faded away.
Floyd was taken early in the first round, as predicted, but the Giants lost their chance at snagging the talented outside linebacker when the Chicago Bears snatched him up, one pick ahead of the New York team.
