When Howie Roseman is uncertain about a draft spot, he can never go wrong landing a player from Alabama or Georgia.
Philadelphia added its eighth Georgia Bulldog to the roster after the Eagles selected Smael Mondon Jr. with the No. 161 pick in the NFL draft.
A former two-sport athlete who ran track in high school, Mondon won a pair of national championships and SEC titles during his four-year career with the Bulldogs. The 6-foot-3, 235-pound linebacker battled through injuries during his junior and senior seasons, but remained productive.
In 2024, Mondon logged 57 tackles, three sacks, and three pass deflections. He finished the year as Georgia's seventh-leading tackler. Mondon posted 39 tackles and three sacks down the stretch over Georgia's final five games.
Overall, Mondon played in 51 games in his UGA career. He recorded 213 total tackles, including 17.5 tackles for a loss.
