Jordan van den Berg, a defensive tackle from Georgia Tech, made history as the third South African-born player drafted into the NFL, chosen by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round. Van den Berg, who moved to Atlanta at age ten, dominated on the field, earned all-ACC honors twice, and even snagged academic all-America status with a masters degree. He also bought and ran his own laundromat using NIL money. His pro day performance ranked him top nationally among defensive tackles, and Georgia Tech finished nine and four last year, setting the stage for more Yellow Jackets to shine in the pros.
