It wouldn't be a Philadelphia Eagles draft class if it didn't include a Georgia player moving from Athens to the City of Brotherly Love.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman continues to do what he does best, and he once again selected Georgia offensive guard Micah Morris with the 207th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Morris becomes the seventh Bulldogs player to be selected by the Eagles since 2022.
Last year, Morris was a second-team All-SEC selection for Georgia. According to Pro Football Focus, Morris was the 44th-highest-graded guard in the nation with a 73.1 grade, allowing just four pressures, two quarterback hits, and zero sacks in 369 pass-blocking snaps.

The Eagles needed depth on the offensive line after losing Brett Toth and Matt Pryor in free agency. They also had a scare with retirements, also with Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson, but both are coming back for the 2026 season.
Morris could fill in as the replacement for Toth at guard and could potentially be a swing lineman for the Eagles. He won't start right away or ever, but he makes a great depth player who was the full-time starter for the Bulldogs last year.
Philly has been building the offensive line out with depth players, as they already selected Markel Bell from Miami in the third round. Bell is more of an offensive tackle, and Morris is the backup guard they needed.

It's no surprise the Eagles have been so heavy on offense and taking care of the future of the offensive line. Philly has a good one with another Georgia player finding a new home near Broad Street.
