LAS VEGAS - Georgia's Devonte Wyatt was drafted by the Green Bay Packers.
The Decatur, Georgia native was a four-star prospect who became a regular starter for the Bulldogs in 2020. He went for 25 tackles, two for loss in 10 games.
He earned first-team All-SEC selection and helped lead the Bulldogs in the 2021 national title run going for 39 tackles, seven for loss with 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles in 14 starts.
Wyatt is the 28th overall pick.
He is the fourth player from the Bulldogs to be picked in the first round and the second UGA defensive player picked by the Packers.
