Nakobe Dean was viewed as a potential first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, but he wasn't selected until No. 83 overall in Round 3 by the Philadelphia Eagles because of questions about a pectoral injury.
Dean, a linebacker who helped Georgia capture a national championship last season, downplayed those concerns in his first press conference with Philly.
"I'm healthy," he told reporters Friday. "I'm ready to go. I know minicamp is next week, and I expect to be a full participant for that. Why I dropped? It's not in my control. Nothing I can do.
