Georgia football is in the middle of fall camp, which means there is more speculation and hype surrounding the team. What will this offense look like in 2022?

The Dawgs feature many returning playmakers from their 2021 national championship squad, so while they lost some of the best players, they got replaced with equally talented guys.

However, there are still some positions that have question marks surrounding them, like the offensive guards.

Who will start among all those talented receivers and tight ends? Among them which will help out Brock Bowers and Adonai Mitchell? Will it be Ladd McConkey or someone else?

Does Georgia use one primary running back, or will the Dawgs continue to use a running back by committee format?

For the most part, the Dawgs return the key pieces to the puzzle, so the squad we saw in 2021 will feature many of the same packages.

However, it’s important to remember that offensive coordinator Todd Monken isn’t going to give teams an upper hand — this group will feature different things to make it harder for opponents.

Georgia football will have a stacked offense, so check out this depth chart prediction.

Some positions are easier to predict than others, but something to remember is the Dawgs like to rotate and use a lot of bodies.

When the Dawgs have more than a handful of players that can handle bigger roles, it helps make that offense even more prolific.

Here is what we think the depth chart looks like right now for the Georgia football offense.

Georgia football Quarterbacks

  1. Stetson Bennett
  2. Carson Beck
  3. Brock Vandagriff
  4. Gunnar Stockton

Bennett is your starter until he proves he doesn’t need to be in charge.

While Beck and Vandagriff are two talented quarterbacks, this is Bennett’s offense, and he should run it. He won a national championship with the offense last year and is even more confident this season, so it would be silly to change it.

Vandagriff seems to be challenging Beck as some rumors suggest he isn’t having nearly as good of a Fall Camp as he had in the spring. Time will tell for that backup battle, but for now, it’s Bennett’s show, and we’re just enjoying it.

Georgia football Running backs

1a. Kendall Milton

1b. Kenny McIntosh

2. Daijun Edwards

3a. Branson Robinson

3b. Andrew Paul

This group is one of the most stacked that Georgia has had in a long time. From top to bottom, this running back room is full of studs.

Milton and McIntosh will, of course, be the primary backs because it seems the Dawgs enjoy using that one-two punch. They have waited for their turns, and 2022 will be a big year for them both.

Edwards has also been someone to wait his turn, and I look for him to be more involved this season.

The two freshmen in Robinson and Paul are already turning heads. Robinson is a freak of nature and doesn’t have a neck. If the Dawgs use him correctly, he could end up being another Nick Chubb. It seems from Dell McGee they will use him this year and implement him somehow.

Regardless they are both extremely talented. Georgia has plenty of running backs to use this season, so it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out and if either of the first-year students take over sooner than later.

Georgia football Receivers

X-Receiver

  1. Adonai Mitchell
  2. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
  3. Jackson Meeks
  4. Dillon Bell

Y-Receiver

  1. Kearis Jackson
  2. Ladd McConkey
  3. Dominick Blaylock

Z-Receiver

  1. Ladd McConkey
  2. De’Nylon Morrissette
  3. Arian Smith

This receiver group is full of talent as well. From the veterans to the freshmen, they are all stepping up and showing out. Rumors suggest that Smith could have some injury issues again before the season starts, but hopefully, what we saw out of him at G-Day will still be able to happen.

Mitchell will be the primary deep threat, but McConkey can also handle those duties downfield. I didn’t include him on that list because Rosemy-Jacksaint and Meeks will have the opportunity to step into that role. They both need to prove themselves in 2022.

This group is multi-talented, and I believe all of them can line up wherever the Dawgs need them to and succeed.

Jackson and Blaylock both return this season to do damage and seek revenge. This group has plenty of guys to pass the ball to, and regardless of who left and stuck around, Georgia has a stacked receiver group to score points with and make explosive plays.

Georgia football Tight ends

  1. Brock Bowers
  2. Darnell Washington
  3. Arik Gilbert
  4. Oscar Delp

This tight end room is the most talented in the entire country. There is no other tight end room that has the playmakers that Georgia does.

Bowers will look to pick up right where he left off in 2021, but he will have to share the load some this year.

Washington will look to put his name on everyone’s radar, plus Gilbert showed glimmers of greatness at G-Day, so he needs to have the ball in his hands.

Delp is a freshman that stood out at G-Day, so they will have to find a way to use him too. However, this group is full of humble individuals that know their time will come.

Georgia won’t be short of receiving weapons in 2022 as long as they stay healthy. Maybe Delp will be the freshman phenom in 2022. Bowers could produce another historic season, but so could Gilbert or even Washington.

Georgia football Offensive line

Left Tackle: 

  1. Broderick Jones
  2. Earnest Greene
  3. Amarius Mims

Left Guard:

  1. Xavier Truss
  2. Micah Morris

Center

  1. Sedrick Van Pran
  2. Warren Ericson
  3. Austin Blaske

Right Guard

  1. Warren Ericson
  2. Tate Ratledge
  3. Dylan Fairchild

Right Tackle

  1. Warren McClendon
  2. Amarius Mims
  3. Earnest Greene

This offensive line group is a large one full of talent. Greene is a star and has shown out this offseason as a freshman. Mims is working hard, too, so he could get used at either tackle position or maybe even guard.

The best center in the country, Van Pran, is gearing up for another successful season. Ratledge seems to be working on getting back as well. Georgia could use him in the guard position.

This offensive line group is more than the names I mentioned but look for Georgia to rotate until they find the right personnel for specific situations. The Dawgs aren’t afraid to rotate and move players around so that it could happen in 2022.

Georgia football fans should feel confident in this offense because it’s stacked from top to bottom. There really isn’t a position group on offense that concerns me.

The Dawgs have experience in certain places, but they also have some young guys that are talented enough to step into bigger roles if needed.

George Pickens proves he is a complete dawg in all the right ways. light. Hot

Georgia football is ready to prove that it still has that same explosive offense we saw in 2021, but it will likely be even better than it was then.
