Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman said the best-players-from-the-best-teams plan became an appealing strategy during the coronavirus pandemic, when the contact between NFL teams and prospects was limited.
After choosing Davis in the first round and linebacker Nakobe Dean in the third in 2022, the Eagles kept the pipeline from Athens flowing in 2023 with defensive tackle Jalen Carter and outside linebacker Nolan Smith in the first round and cornerback Kelee Ringo in the fourth.. “But for us, it’s about the individual players. If we were going to bypass a player just because we had taken another player from that school, that would be silly, too.
“What is it? The EPL? European soccer league? The Premier League -- they relegate teams. I was worried they were going to relegate us to the SEC if we took more Georgia guys.” But as the Eagles crashed to a 4-11-1 showing in 2020, Hurts replaced Carson Wentz in the lineup for the final four games of the season. In 2022, Hurts led Philadelphia to the best record in franchise history and a spot in Super Bowl LVII while finishing as the runner-up for the NFL MVP Award.Counting Hurts, Philadelphia has three offensive starters from Alabama while the draft picks from Georgia have all been defensive players.
