Could current NFL and former Georgia football Players win a Super Bowl?

Could a team made up of just Georgia football players in the NFL win a Super Bowl?

I have often wondered how good a team made up of just Georgia football players could be.

We all know that there is a very long list of talented players in the NFL. However, could they reach the ultimate plateau as a team? Let’s take a look at this very scenario.

Offense

Every great football team has to have a great quarterback, and this team is no different.

Matthew Stafford was the No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft for a reason. He is not the most mobile quarterback, but he has a rocket attached to his shoulder.

I think Stafford would be more than capable of leading this group to a championship.

Georgia is known as Running Back University for a reason. With a stable of backs that include, Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, and Sony Michel, this team will be able to punish a defense in the running game.

By having this type of run game, it would take a lot of the pressure of Matthew Stafford. Most importantly, it would keep the other team’s offense off the field.

The wide receiver group would be another strong one, led by AJ Green, who one of the best wideouts in the NFL. Chris Conley, Javon Wims, Mecole Hardman, and Riley Ridley round out this group.

It would be quite a task for any NFL team that had the job of shutting down this collection of wideouts. They have speed, great route runners, and some great possession guys — the best of all worlds.

One of the weaker groups would be the tight ends. As good as Ben Watson has been, he is now 35 and coming to an end of a great career.

Orson Charles and Isaac Nauta have upside, but Charles is primarily used as a fullback, and well, Nauta is a rookie. I could see Nauta being a playmaker and Charles heping in the run game.

The offensive line would be one of the biggest strengths on the team.

Led by center David Andrews, this group also consists of Clint Boling, Cordy Glenn, Isiah Wynn, and Lamont Gaillard. The running game would be almost unstoppable behind them. This offense would be tough to stop with these big guys up front.

Defense

I’ll start with the defensive line. One of the best defensive tackles in the NFL is Geno Atkins, even at the end of his career, he is still dominant.

Put Abry Jones next to Atkins, and you have a duo that can get to the quarterback and stop the run. Coming off the edge will be Leonard Floyd and Lorenzo Carter.

Linebacker is a position that Georgia does not get enough credit.

One would have to wonder why with players like Thomas Davis, Roquan Smith, and Justin Houston in the league. These linebackers would be able to roam all over the field and be able to stop any run attack along with making that quarterback sweat.

The weakest position by far would be cornerback.

Georgia has just one in the league, rookie Deandre Baker. Defensive back Maurice Smith plays safety in the league, but at Georgia, he played the star position along with cornerback and whatever head coach Kirby Smart needed him to. So in this scenario, we will use Smith as a corner.

Damian Swann is a free agent that also played in the AAF; he could be the nickel back.

The safety is a talented position. With Reshad Jones and Shawn Williams in the defensive backfield, teams would not want to go deep.

Also, both are very good in run support. They would have their hands full trying to make up for the shortcomings in front of them though. Hopefully, their play could balance out the secondary.

In my opinion, this team could compete very well, but a championship would hang on whether or not the pass rush could help out a weak secondary.

It helps a lot that the running game would keep the opposing offense off the field. I think if this team were able to keep the game close, they most certainly would be able to win a Super Bowl.
