Very little is certain heading into an NFL draft.

This year’s NFL draft has the chance to be unlike any other in recent years with a possible long wait before any of the players who throw, catch or run with the ball coming off the board.

The Georgia Bulldogs are well-represented at the NFL scouting combine after winning their first national championship in over four decades.

The NFL announced that 73 underclassmen have been granted special eligibility for the draft, the fewest in the last seven years.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart told a near-capacity crowd at Sanford Stadium the Bulldogs don’t plan to wait another 41 years for their next national championship.

Kirby Smart learned from his former boss that the time for celebrating is short in college football.
