The 2017 Georgia football season is almost here. Preseason practices began Monday.

Yesterday I gave you a list of offensive players that you should keep an eye on during the preseason. So today I’ll give you another list for defenders.

Now the Bulldog’s defense is pretty set already. They return 10 starters and already had a lot of depth in the front seven. The newcomers and less experienced defenders have a very steep climb to the top of the depth chart.

But that doesn’t mean none of these guys won’t earn any playing time. There are a few that I think will be solid contributors by the end of 2017.

Here are a few of those players on defense that you should watch this preseason.
