This might be the deepest defensive line Georgia has ever had. Last year Georgia utilized seven different players on three positions and all of them return in 2017.

Add top 200 players Robert Beal, Malik Herring to a good group of defensive linemen who didn’t play much in 2016 and Georgia has probably the deepest and most talented defensive line depth chart in the SEC.
