Every season in the NFL there are a few Georgia rookies who come out of nowhere and receive more playing time than anyone ever expected in their first year. Sometimes there are even some Bulldogs who surprise everyone and immediately become a starter upon their arrival in the NFL as well.
One Bulldog who appears to be accomplishing just that with the Cincinnati Bengals is offensive lineman Dylan Fairchild.
Fairchild was drafted by the Bengals in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft with the 81st overall pick. No one was surprised to see him get drafted, but no one expected Fairchild to be taken this early.
