ATLANTA (AP) -- At least four juniors who played lead roles in
Georgia Tech's ACC championship could enter the NFL draft after the
Yellow Jackets' Orange Bowl game against Iowa.
Defensive end Derrick Morgan tops the list of juniors who say
they will examine their draft options after No. 9 Georgia Tech's
bowl game. Morgan was a first-team All-America pick by The
Associated Press on Tuesday.
Receiver Demaryius Thomas, a third-team All-America selection,
running back Jonathan Dwyer and safety Morgan Burnett also are
possibilities to enter the draft.
Morgan and Dwyer are widely regarded as possible first-round
picks.
Georgia Tech will play Iowa in the Jan. 5 Orange Bowl.
