More than 125 former Georgia high school players have made opening-day NFL rosters in a season that begins Thursday with a game between the Cowboys and Buccaneers.
At least 18 are rookies, including 2021 first-round picks Trevor Lawrence of Cartersville, Justin Fields of Harrison and Jaycee Horn of Alpharetta.
Norcross and Stephenson, with five each, have the most active NFL players among Georgia schools.
Every NFL team has at least one Georgia player. The Patriots, Texans and Giants each have seven Georgia players.
This research is done by tracking Georgia’s 2021 draftees and past NFL players. Please report errors or omissions, which are inevitable, as NFL rosters are fluid and difficult to research for this kind of data. The list includes only players on active rosters or injured reserve as of noon Tuesday. It does not include players on practice squads or unable-to-perform lists. Players on injured reserve are noted by the initials IJ.
