Former All-American Dog signs with NFL team
Former Georgia All-
American offensive lineman
Max Jean-Gilles signed a
four-year contract with the
Philadelphia Eagles Monday.
Jean-Gilles is the first of
Georgia’s seven draft picks to
sign with their team.

fourth round of April’s NFL
Draft, agreed to terms just 10
days before the start of the
team’s training camp.
In 40 collegiate starts,
Jean-Gilles allowed just three
sacks, while anchoring an
offensive line that helped
Georgia win two SEC
Championships.
Financial terms were not
disclosed by the Eagles.
Georgia adds
another recruit

seven rising high school sen
iors already committed to
Georgia’s 2007 recruiting
class, Richt added another
top prospect to the list over
the weekend.

School senior lineman Clint
Boling committed to the
Bulldogs after participating

man Tanner Strickland (No.
18) as Richt looks to build a
solid offensive unit of the
future.
