Looking over some numbers from the NFL Draft over the last 10 years it is interesting to see the effects that coaching staff’s have in the development of players. Any top-tier high school football player in the state of Georgia will likely consider both UGA and Georgia Tech as two options for college.
Here is one statistic some of those recruits may want to keep in mind:
Since 2000, UGA has had 10 first round picks in the NFL Draft…Georgia Tech has had only 1.
Here is a detailed look at the number of players drafted from both schools sorted by round:
| UGA | GT | |
| Round 1 | 10 | 1 |
| Round 2 | 9 | 2 |
| Round 3 | 9 | 6 |
| Round 4 | 8 | 4 |
| Round 5 | 5 | 1 |
| Round 6 | 5 | 3 |
| Round 7 | 10 | 5 |
| Total Players | 56 | 22 |
