The NFL has seen a consistent influx of talent from the Georgia Bulldogs in recent years, with the university regularly producing numerous prospects across various positions for each draft class.
While they may not boast a plethora of first-round picks this year, Georgia has caught the attention with a couple of standout prospects who are striving to demonstrate their worthiness for high selections in the upcoming draft.
According to a report by ESPN’s Jordan Reid, tight end hopeful Brock Bowers and offensive tackle Amarius Mims are set to showcase their skills at their individual Pro Day today, as noted by Rich Cimini on Twitter.
Georgia TE Brock Bowers, a possibility for the #Jets at 10, will have his pro day today for NFL scouts, per @Jordan_Reid. Bowers didn't participate in testing drills at the combine and didn't do the Georgia pro day because of a hamstring injury. OT Amarius Mims will join Bowers…

Bowers opted out of the NFL Combine and Georgia Pro Day due to a hamstring injury. ESPN’s Rich Cimini indicated in a tweet that Bowers remains a potential selection for the New York Jets at the 10th overall pick.
Acknowledged as the premier tight end prospect in this year’s class, it would come as a surprise if Bowers is not the first tight end chosen in the draft. On the other hand, Mims could significantly benefit from this upcoming workout session.
Given the abundance of high-caliber offensive tackle prospects in this year’s draft, including Joe Alt from Notre Dame, Olu Fashanu from Penn State, JC Latham from Alabama, Taliese Fuaga from Oregon State, and others projected to be top picks, a strong performance by Mims could firmly position him among the top prospects at his position.
The No. 10 pick to the Jets presents an intriguing opportunity for Bowers. He would seamlessly integrate into an offense lacking an elite tight end, working alongside legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers, should he join the team.
