Method

Every defender who played at Georgia since 2004, ranked by interceptions over his games there. Bowl and playoff games count.
Tackles and sacks are only recorded since 2024, so the defenders are ranked by interceptions. A defender is in a box score only in a game he has a stat in, so his games aren’t counted.
The numbers here start in 2004, so a defender who played at Georgia before then isn't here.
A decade counts his interceptions at Georgia in its seasons.
