FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Georgia tailback Kenny McIntosh was selected by the Seattle Seahawks with the 237th pick in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

McIntosh enters the NFL after establishing himself as the most versatile back in Bulldogs history, catching 43 passes for 504 yards in addition to his team-high 150 carries for 829 yards with a team-high 12 touchdowns.

McIntosh is one of just three players in the SEC since 2000 to have more than 500 yards receiving, 800 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns in one season, joining Ole Miss’ Dexter McCluster and Florida’s Percy Harvin.

Coach Kirby Smart called McIntosh the “Alpha Leader” of the Georgia offense, and he was twice selected a team captain by his teammates.

The former Georgia running back was also a kick return ace in 2020, at one point leading the nation in kick returns before suffering a sprained knee.

McIntosh has one older brother, R.J., who is a free agent most recently with the Miami Dolphins, and another older brother, Deon, who is with Ottawa in the CFL (Canadian Football League).

McIntosh attended University School in Davie, Fla., before signing with the Bulldogs in 2019 ranked as the 11th running back in the nation, and the 188th player overall.

There were 16 running backs selected before McIntosh in the 2023 NFL Draft:
