Roquan Smith will have a familiar face joining him in Chicago.
In the seventh round of the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears selected Georgia receiver Javon Wims. Wims was taken with the 224th overall pick, which ended a three-round absence of Georgia players.
Wims, the sixth Bulldog selected in the 2018 NFL draft, became Georgia’s go-to receiver during the 2017 season. At 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, Wims caught 38 passes for 631 yards and six touchdowns. Wims would routinely use his big frame to block defenders out when coming down with jump-ball catches.
Wims also played a big role in Georgia’s run game by getting after defensive backs on the perimeter.
