NFL Dawgs prove Georgia football is a feeder school for the league
Georgia football continues to put talent in the NFL year after year. This past week, the NFL Dawgs were on fire, and there wasn’t much they couldn’t do right.
Since head coach Kirby Smart got to Georgia in 2016, the Dawgs have had 26 guys drafted, including seven first-round picks.
Each week it seems like we’re bragging on another Dawg who is living up to their potential in the league.
This week was a big week for the NFL Dawgs, and it proves that Georgia is a feeder school for the league, especially since Smart got to Athens.
Georgia football is a feeder school providing monsters for the NFL.
In Week 15, Dawgs all across the league, most of them coming from the Smart era, put on a show and proved what kind of development they have in Athens.
The biggest story has to be Jake Fromm and coming in to help out the Giants. He went 6-of-12 for 82 yards, and after that performance, it looks like the Giants could use him until their starter is healthy. New York needs to use him because that young man will put his body on the line to make a play, and with the right help, will continue to develop into a great NFL quarterback.
Nick Chubb, Sony Michel and Matt Stafford were the other three offensive playmakers who had big weeks.
Stafford is the only non-Smart era person to blow it up this week, so that should silence anyone who claims the Dawgs cannot develop.
The veteran quarterback became the fastest man to reach 50,000 yards in combined regular-season and playoff games as he currently has 50,159 yards in 182 games.
This season, Stafford is No.2 and No.3 with 35 touchdowns and 4,142 passing yards. He is having a killer year since getting traded to the Rams, proving that move was what he needed to spark his career.
Chubb rushed for 91 yards and a score on 23 attempts. He now has three straight seasons with 1,000-plus yards. Michel rushed for 92 yards on 18 carries for the Rams, and it looks like he has gotten back on track.
Now defensively is where the Dawgs continue to shine and produce some of the best NFL players ever.
Roquan Smith is an animal and no human — not even close to being human.
He paced the Bears with 10 tackles and has the No.4 best career tackles in the NFL with 140. Holy cow, that young man is moving and grooving in these games. It’s wild to see how dynamic and monstrous he can be for opposing offenses.
Who developed him? Smart, Glenn Schumann, Dan Lanning, and a little Mel Tucker all had a little to do with his development. Smith is a generational athlete that isn’t even close to hitting his ceiling.
Azeez Ojulari recorded four tackles and half of a sack for the Giants and extended his rook record to eight sacks on the year, which ranks No. 3 in the league. That guy is also breaking down barriers, and he is also a product of this current staff’s ability to develop.
Other guys played this week who shined and showed the Dawgs know what they’re doing when it comes to getting guys in the league.
This narrative of Smart cannot develop is a bald-faced lie, and these NFL Dawgs prove it weekly.
