Georgia’s Warren McClendon, Christopher Smith, Jack Podlesny, and Kenny McIntosh are all participating in the 2023  Reese’s Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl is one of the top NFL draft scouting events.

Georgia has 13 players with a realistic shot of being drafted in the 2023 NFL draft. Most of these NFL draft prospects will go through various predraft workouts like the combine and pro day. However, the Senior Bowl is widely considered one of the best NFL draft scouting events thanks to the transparency it has.

How are Georgia Bulldogs performing in Senior Bowl practice? Here’s a peak at some of the more interesting one-on-one reps featuring Georgia Bulldogs:

Offensive tackle Warren McClendon

McClendon, who is honoring Devin Willock at the Senior Bowl, gets the better of Florida A&M’s Isiah Land.

Running back Kenny McIntosh

McIntosh has the potential to be a three-down back in the NFL. He can rush the ball, is a great pass catcher, and can contribute as a pass blocker. McIntosh bounced back from a calf cramp he suffered earlier in the week.

Christopher Smith looks physical in coverage

Christopher Smith was one of the top safeties in college football last season. Now, he’s getting put in a lot of one-on-one battles at the Senior Bowl.

Gaye shows off his speed in this clip. He won the battle with his hands in this rep against McClendon.

Christopher would've delivered a big hit

If this speed were full speed, then there’s no doubt Christopher Smith would have had a big hit.

Former Georgia transfer Tyrique Stevenson

Stevenson, who transferred to Miami, is projected to be selected in the first few rounds of the 2023 NFL draft.

More good coverage from Christopher Smith

The NFL does tend to be fairly harsh with defensive backs, so Smith may need to watch out for pass interference penalties in the future.

Christopher Smtih loses a few reps against Dontayvion Wicks

This is certainly a catch in college, but did Wicks get both feet in?

Virginia wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has had a big week at the Senior Bowl. Christopher Smith lost a few reps to Wicks, but was competitive and physical in every rep. A large part of the Senior Bowl is facing high level competition and using that experience to improve.

McIntosh shows off route running
