The Georgia Bulldogs had eight players selected in the 2026 NFL draft including offensive tackle Monroe Freeling, who was Georgia’s only first-round pick. Freeling headlines the Georgia players that are set to have a significant pay day following the draft.
As a first-round pick, Freeling will have a four-year contract with a fifth-year team option. Freeling’s deal will be fully guaranteed for the first four seasons.
After the first-round, the rest of the draft does not have fully guaranteed contracts, but draft picks do get partially guaranteed four-year deals with players drafted higher getting larger contracts and a higher percentage of guaranteed money in most cases.
Bulldogs picking in the NFL draft are expected to sign $72.5 million in rookie contracts over the upcoming months. This number does not include the five Georgia players that went undrafted and signed deals as undrafted free agents following the draft.
