Linebacker Nolan Smith Jr., a Georgia Bulldog, waited on the other end. Roseman, a University of Florida graduate, was conflicted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the moment was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Eagles\/status\/1652020526712274959\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">captured on video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Roseman said to Smith, \u201cI\u2019m a Florida Gator. Do you know how much it hurts my soul to take all these (expletive) Georgia Bulldogs?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith, laughing, replied: \u201cBut you wanna win though. You wanna win.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That night, three of the Eagles\u2019 seven total draft picks were Georgia Bulldogs: Smith, defensive tackle Jalen Carter and defensive back Kelee Ringo. Shades from the Eagles\u2019 2022 draft selections that included two more Bulldogs: defensive tackle Jordan Davis and linebacker Nakobe Dean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Eagles acquired safety Lewis Cine, a former Bulldog, on Jan. 8.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With six players from Georgia \u2013 all on defense \u2013\u00a0 it&#8217;s the most players from one college team on the same side of the ball on a Super Bowl roster ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All six played together at Georgia in 2021 and won a national championship. Smith, Carter and Ringo secured their second national championship in 2022. Now, entering their second and third seasons with the Eagles, they all have a chance to win a Super Bowl together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to be able to share your dreams with your brothers,\u201d Ringo said. \u201cWe dreamed of this moment. Winning in college and now being at the Super Bowl at the highest level, I\u2019m blessed.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As big contributors to a disciplined and synchronized Eagles defense, the products from the Bulldogs have been a recipe for success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThem Georgia boys are different,\u201d Eagles safety Reed Blankenship said. \u201cI would hate to play against them all together in their prime.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only five of the Bulldogs will be available for the Eagles, as Dean tore the patellar tendon in his left knee against the Packers in the wild-card round. He was placed on injured reserve and will miss the Super Bowl.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the regular season, Dean totaled 128 tackles (the second-most on the team), three sacks, one interception (which sealed a close one against Jacksonville) and four pass deflections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith burst onto the scene this year in Philadelphia. He\u2019s been a difference-maker under Vic Fangio\u2019s defense, totaling 42 total tackles, six and a half sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through three playoff games, Smith has 16 tackles and four sacks. It\u2019s the most defensive sacks by an Eagles player in one playoff run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coach Nick Sirianni gave Smith a game ball for his performance against the Packers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI (expletive) love this guy because he plays so (expletive) hard,\u201d Sirianni <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Eagles\/status\/1878815575591498044\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">told the team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cHe is just a nasty, violent football player.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carter and Davis both have thrived for the Eagles\u2019 physical defensive front. Carter has racked up 42 tackles, four and a half sacks and 12 tackles for loss. Lined up right next to him, Davis has totaled 27 tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Ringo\u2019s numbers might not protrude from the bunch, he\u2019s contributed to a talented secondary room. Playing in every game this season, Ringo logged 15 tackles, one pass deflection, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Eagles rank first in total defense, first in passing defense, 10th in rushing defense and second in scoring defense. They are first in forced turnovers while being tied at second for total sacks. It\u2019s the first time since the 1991 season the Eagles have ranked first in total defense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith, a two-time national champion and now competing in the Super Bowl, said he knows the capabilities of playing together with the stakes on the line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are used to playing in big games, and we try to make big things happen,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t do it without the greatness of others. Being with those guys, it\u2019s most definitely fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sirianni spoke about the tight relationship between the group and how it translates onto the field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen you have a relationship with the guys and the guys have a relationship with each other, they\u2019ll go a little bit harder because they got a little more on the line,\u201d Sirianni said. \u201cThey don\u2019t want to let each other down, and I think that\u2019s a big part of it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entering Super Bowl LIX, Georgia will have a player in the big game for the 24th year in a row, tied with LSU for the longest active streak of any college football program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt definitely feels like home, just being able to trust your brothers,\u201d Ringo said. \u201cWe\u2019ve watched each other grow for five-plus years now. \u2026 We just continue to grow with each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blake McQueary is a sports media graduate student at Medill.
