The Packers, who have focused on rebuilding their defensive line depth in recent drafts, believe Brinson’s upside and experience in a pro-style system under Georgia coach Kirby Smart make him a valuable addition.

“We appreciate you and are grateful we got to be a part of your career. So happy you’re able to reach your goals and I look forward to seeing you with the Packers,” Smart wrote on X.

Green Bay has used several of its 2025 picks to bolster the defense, signaling a clear intention to support a young offense with a fast, physical unit on the other side of the ball.

The Savannah native began his football career at Savannah Christian, before transferring to IMG Academy and playing five years in college at Georgia.

Brinson is the latest Georgia Bulldog to make the jump to the NFL, continuing the program’s recent pipeline of defensive talent to the pros.
