The NFL Draft has concluded and Georgia Southern had two players drafted on Saturday.

Cornerback Kindle Vildor and kicker Tyler Bass were the first Georgia Southern players to be drafted since 2017 when Ukeme Eligwe (linebacker) was taken in the fifth round by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Vildor was drafted in the fifth round with pick 163 by the Chicago Bears.
