Eagles Post Thanos Infinity Stones Meme After Drafting Georgia LB Smael Mondon

The Philadelphia Eagles' tradition of drafting players from Georgia continued on Saturday.

With the 25th pick in the fifth round (No. 161 overall), the defending champs picked up Georgia linebacker Smael Mondon Jr., adding another Bulldog to the mix in Philadelphia.

The Eagles had the perfect meme for the occasion after the pick.

Mondon marks the eighth player from Georgia on the Eagles' roster. The full list of Bulldogs in Philadelphia includes:

• DT Jalen Carter
• DB Lewis Cine
• DT Jordan Davis
• LB Nakobe Dean
• LB Azeez Ojulari
• CB Kelee Ringo
• LB Nolan Smith Jr.
• LB Smael Mondon Jr.

What's more, seven of those players are from Georgia's 2021 national championship team. Considering defensive dominance is a staple of Kirby Smart's Bulldogs, it's not much of a surprise that a defensive-minded team like the Eagles has wound up with so many of them.

The newest addition, Mondon, brings more defensive excellence to Philadelphia. In his final campaign with the Bulldogs, he racked up 57 tackles, four tackles for loss and three sacks. He likely could have been an earlier selection had it not been for a foot injury that cost him four games in 2024.

Now, the question for the Eagles and Mondon is whether he can help them sustain their dominant defense in 2025. Philadelphia had arguably the best defensive unit in the league a year ago, allowing the fewest yards per game (278.4) and the second-fewest points per game (17.8)

In their 40-22 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, the Eagles sacked Patrick Mahomes six times and forced two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

Considering Mondon comes from a school that prides itself on defense, he should have no problem fitting in with Philadelphia.
