Georgia's LB CJ Allen ranked as No. 1 LB in 2026 NFL draft
Georgia Bulldogs football program has an impressive track record of developing linebackers, arguably more so than any other position over the past decade. Since 2018, eight Georgia linebackers have been selected in the NFL draft, and rising star CJ Allen is already being projected as a potential first-round pick. NFL draft experts are often debating who is the top linebacker in the 2026 NFL draft. The debate often ends up being between Texas Longhorns start Anthony Hill and Georgia's CJ Allen. Dane Brugler, an NFL draft analyst for The Athletic, has identified CJ Allen as his top-ranked linebacker for the 2026 NFL draft. "Between his range, instincts and the fact that he dons Georgia's No. 3 jersey, Allen brings back immediate flashbacks of Roquan Smith patrolling the middle of the defense in Athens," Brugler wrote (subscription required). "Allen is quick to key, read and flow and shows the range to make plays outside the numbers. Although he isn't the longest player, he can defeat blocks with quickness or force. Allen also hits like a ton of bricks without sacrificing his balance at contact, which makes him a reliable tackler." While Dane Brugler of The Athletic ranks CJ Allen as the top linebacker for the 2026 NFL draft, he notes that Allen needs to improve his playmaking in coverage. However, Brugler highlights Allen's football awareness as his best asset, which aligns with defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann's reputation for developing linebackers with exceptional football IQ. In 2024, Allen recorded 76 tackles, three tackles for loss, and an interception. Given that Georgia linebackers often show a significant jump in production in their third year within the system, it will be compelling to see if Allen, a junior, follows this trend. Allen has been named to the Butkus Award watchlist and will look to become UGA's fourth Butkus winner in the Kirby Smart era.

After it was revealed that Apple TV+ is developing a limited series based on her 2006 Christmas romcom, Meyers, 75, shared that she was unaware of the upcoming project. 'News to me,' she wrote on her Instagram story over an article about the series from the Hollywood Reporter. 'Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.'

'I don't think I've seen you since we wrapped up 'The Holiday.'' 7 Cameron Diaz, Jude Law in 'The Holiday.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Speaking of which,' she went on, 'I've seen you interviewed a lot, and they keep asking you if there's going to be a sequel, what do you think?'

The 'Sherlock Holmes' vet then grabbed a white napkin and looked up at Meyers as he pulled the cloth up to his face. 7 Behind the scenes of 'The Holiday.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Uh oh. Uh oh,' Meyers teased. 'Oh no, here it comes.' Advertisement Law then placed the linen over his head, put a pair of glasses over the napkin, and recreated the iconic Mr. Napkin Head from 'The Holiday.' Laughing, Meyers inquired, 'Is that a yes, Jude?' But Law made it clear he would be interested in a sequel, only if their creator was involved. 7 Jude Law in a scene from 'The Holiday.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 'Of course I would,' he told E! News in December. 'I mean we'd have to be led by the great Nancy Meyers. She's unique in her filmmaking. She's not just a writer, director but she creates that sort of aesthetic, that world and you see it in her other films.' Law added, 'I'm curious, just because there were two very sweet couples and it would be interesting to drop back in now, and just see what they are doing.'
