ATHENS - It looks like one Georgia Bulldog is quickly climbing up NFL draft boards.

That’s because more NFL GMs, along with NFL draft experts, and realizing how good senior Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was in the red and black.

A Florida native who signed with Georgia in the 2020 recruiting class as a bigger, possession receiver, Rosemy-Jacksaint never lit up the stat sheet during his time at Georgia, but anyone who was paying attention could see the talent he had.

When the ball went his way, good things happened. With some of the best hands on the team, Rosemy-Jacksaint made at least one “wow” catch in just about every game.

He can jump, shows outstanding body control, and has shown strong, dependable hands throughout his Bulldog career. He battled through injuries, but he always found a way to make a big catch when the ball came his way.

His stock is rising, and ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr said this week that Rosemy-Jacksaint could see his draft stock increase heading into the NFL Combine next month.

"I like guys with length and a big catch radius”, Kiper Jr. said about Rosemy-Jacksaint. “Guys who can go get the football. Guys who you think are covered but are really not. And that’s Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint out of Georgia. He’s a kid that’s 6’1 about 205 with long arms. Arm length is important if you want to win those contested catches in the NFL. In 2022 he went for 11.6 a catch and improved that to close to 16 yards a catch this past year with four TDs. He has big-play ability and made some big catches in traffic. The length, hands, and catch radius, along with the ability to make tough catches in traffic in the middle of the field caught my eye. He’s really consistent and he’s a guy who is going to get better and better.”

“I like the improvement from 2022 to 2023 with an increase in yards per catch”, Kiper Jr. added. “His best football has yet to come, and when you’re that size with that wingspan, that’s going to be critical against cornerbacks in the NFL. I like this kid a lot.”

As a senior in 2023, Rosemy-Jacksaint caught 34 passes for 535 yards and four TDs. During his career at Georgia, he caught 74 passes for 1,028 yards and 7 touchdowns. More importantly, Rosemy-Jacksaint helped lead the Dawgs to two consecutive national championships during his four-year career.

Now, Rosemy-Jacksaint will hear his name called during the 2024 NFL Draft.
