    Georgia football has been a breeding ground for NFL players for several years under ninth-year head coach Kirby Smart.

    Some of those players came together for a photo opportunity Sunday after the Pittsburgh Steelers ' beat the Las Vegas Raiders 34-14.

    Former standout Georgia receiver George Pickens was joined by former Bulldogs and current Steeler teammates Brodrick Jones, an offensive lineman, and tight end Darnell Washington along with current Raiders Chris Smith, a safety, and tight end Brock Bowers.

    The Steelers' Instagram account jointly released the photo with Georgia football with the caption "Dawgs" with a dog emoji.

    Bowers, a rookie, had nine catches for 71 yards while Pickens had three receptions for 53 yards and Washington one catch for nine yards. Smith had a tackle while Jones played on the Steelers' offensive line. Absent from the photo was running back Zamir White, who missed the game with a groin injury.

    Bowers' 37 receptions are third most in the NFL this season while his 384 yards receiving are the most by a tight end. Pickens is 18th in the league with 363 yards receiving.
