Gunner Stockton has a big offseason in front of him. He already had a phenomenal season last year, but if he wants to lead UGA back to the top of the sport he needs to get a lot better. But there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that he is doing everything he needs to do to get better because that is the kind of person that he is.
Taking center stage in the football world right now is the NFL Combine. Stockton obviously is not participating, but a lot of his teammates are. And during their time with the media one teammate was asked about what he expects from Stockton next year, and he used the word "scary."
What will Gunner Stockton look like in Year 2 as a starter?

Gunner Stockton should be feared by everyone
A lot of people have been singing Stockton's praises this offseason, but no one has used the word scary to describe him. But that might be the best word possible.
Scared is the last thing anyone at Georgia should feel because he has proven himself to be one of the best quarterbacks in the country. The rest of the country though should be very scared of him. He is an elite runner and has blossomed into a solid passer as well. Then when you add in his toughness and leadership skills it's hard to find a better quarterback in college than him.
Any team that lines up across from Stockton this fall should be scared. He is capable of beating any team in so many different ways, and that is the biggest reason why Georgia is one of the favorites to win a National Championship next season.
But that isn't what Stockton should be focused on right now. All he can do is keep to himself and continue getting better and let his play do the talking next season.
