Georgia safety Lewis Cine declares for 2022 NFL Draft

While Georgia will bring back one safety in Chris Smith, junior Lewis Cine announced on Friday that he will take his talents to the NFL, declaring for the 2022 NFL Draft.

Cine made his announcement via social media. The junior safety was named the defensive MVP of the National Championship game, as he finished with seven tackles.

The Bulldogs could once again look to the transfer portal to bolster their secondary, as they brought in Kendrick and West Virginia defensive back Tykee Smith. The latter is expected to return to Georgia, though he played in just one game this season while dealing with knee and foot injuries.
