David Pollack was arguably the best defender to ever play for UGA Football. His 36 career sacks are third all-time in NCAA history and a career-best at Georgia. Pollack was a beast at getting after the quarterback, but he may be known more for an interception than for a sack. Pollack’s interception of South Carolina quarterback Corey Jenkins in the end zone is a hard play to forget.
Pollack is the second most decorated Georgia Bulldog player, and only the second three-time All-American in school history. The Bulldogs haven’t had a pass rusher like him since he left. Georgia could really use another pass rusher with Pollack’s knack for getting to the quarterback.
