Keep up the great work, Christen.
In the past we have talked about the Georgia Way in not so flattering terms. This simple action is exactly what the Georgia Way is all about.
Go be great, good sir.
This is what a DGD acts like

About That 2021 Defen$e
Man, talk about a group that’s getting paid. Jalen Carter just inked the biggest deal for a d-lineman in league history.
If I have this right, Walker just signed for another 4 years and over $100 million with the Jaguars, and Davis, Wyatt, Dean, and Walker all just signed three year extensions for nice sums of money.
Maybe there’s something to Kirby’s formula for guys being role players during their early years just to blossom into NFL millionaires.
Just a reminder to Bear Alexander that he had two sacks as a role player in 2022, and has tallied only 2.5 since in three years with two other teams…
C’est la vie….
You Can Take The Man Out of Georgia
But you can’t take the Georgia out of the man, I guess.
Honestly, it seemed like Nolan would be the last guy to have issues with the law, but speeding is speeding, and then there’s super speeding. Yeesh.
Is there a statute of limitations for Kirby when it comes to things like this? Is this Kirby losing control of everything, including the future?
It’s only 107 days until kickoff.
Jalon Walker Got That Dawg in Him
If you haven’t seen the slew of schedule videos that NFL teams have been releasing, you need to look some up. Atlanta has joined in the fun but also have a series of videos that are worth watching, too, including this one that features Jalon Walker:
Tip of the cap to the Raiders for this one, an homage to Stepbrothers.
And my personal favorite from the Rams, with a Napoleon Dynamite theme:
Keeping Up with the Cash Joneses
No, I don’t think he’ll have a career like Julio, but Cash Jones is getting a chance to show his skills in Atlanta, at another position.
I’m sure it’s nice to have some former teammates on the squad to help transition to the league, as well as a new position.
Go Dawgs!
SEC Draft Picks: It Just Means Doing Less with More?
Well, we can’t get to the CFP Championship game or win out bowl seasons, but the SEC still leads the way in NFL Draft picks. During the 2026 Draft, every SEC team had at least one athlete picked during the Draft. No other conference had that distinction. Here’s some stats for context:
And while some of the pro-SEC pundits are beating their chests about leading in the final Draft picks, some interesting talking points are starting to arise:
Yes, the Big XII is horrendous, and there’s a point to be made there, somewhere. Honestly, though, this is more interesting to process:
There’s a reason why four of those teams now have new coaches, and the rest, well let’s just say we are all amazed that Bobby Hill continues to get credence as a quality football coach, Drink (and TAMU!) always seems to have some epic faceplant each year, and Alabama just gave a contract extension to the guy who shows up not once, but twice in this graphic, and the tale of the two losses can’t be more polar opposite – one to the eventual national champ, and the other to a team that lost to Florida in their annual rivalry and was one of the worst teams…in the ACC.
As EE posted yesterday about the quality of draft picks in the later rounds, the distinction of “most draft picks” may be losing some luster when those who used to declare can just remain in college and continue to make millions. I don’t think that’s what’s happening the Big XII, but it stands to reason that having draftable players versus a team that’s retaining college players at an extended rate through NIL may shift this SEC “point of pride” from “look what me do” to “what are we actually doing with it when we have it”, as it should.
Oh, and to add icing to the cake, Vanderbilt actually felt it necessary to provide some hype to this festering ass carbuncle rather than choosing to have it lanced and treated with broad spectrum antibiotics:
Just another Monday in the growing saga called “what the hell happened to the sport I love?”
They Needed a Third Down Passing Option in Atlanta
Cash Money Records, where dreams come true.
Seriously, good for Cash. Glad for him and I hope it works out.
Also, in case you missed it:
- Noah Thomas – UDFA with Cincinatti
- Brett Thorson – UDFA with Minnesota (Seriously, how were the two guys ranked under him drafted and Brett wasn’t)
- Dillon Bell – UDFA with Minnesota
- Beau Gardner – UDFA with Chicago
In short, 13 guys left Georgia and are on NFL rosters now. Go Dawgs!
It’s Getting Drafty Around Here
The Draft starts tonight. In case you were wondering which of your favorite draft-eligible Dawgs were going where, let’s hash it out.
Based on most of the projections I see, and without scientifically calculating anything, here’s what I’ve been able to pick up:
Sure First Rounder: Monroe Freeling
Likely First Rounder but Confident Second Rounder: Christen Miller and CJ Allen
Possible Second Rounder but Definite Third Rounder: Zachariah Branch
Possibly Third Round, At Worst Fourth: Daylen Everette
Fourth Rounders That Might Luck Into the Third: Oscar Delp
Definitely Drafted, Though Later Rounds: Colbie Young, Micah Morris
Sweating the Late Rounds or Hoping for a Miracle or Anomaly of Drafting: Dillon Bell, Brett Thorson, Noah Thomas
Undrafted Free Agent: Cash Jones, Beau Gardner, JaCorey Thomas
Who are you rooting for the most in this year’s draft?
Missing You: Dawgs Gone
Ah, memories.
Easy question for an easy Sunday discussion…which departing Dawg will you miss the most next season? It’s been nice having a reliable punter and guy who was genuinely enjoyable to follow and seemed like he loved being a Georgia Bulldawg like Brett Thorson.
Freeling, Branch, Delp, and Allen, all will be missed, don’t get me wrong. But who are you genuinely sad to see go that won’t be patrolling the field for Georgia next year?
Pro Day in Athens – Is a Former Bulldog About to Join the Staff?
Most of the news yesterday on the Dawgs had to do with Pro Day, the gigantic Atlanta Falcons contingent that came, and then there was an unusual sighting of someone unique throwing to the draftable receivers.
Interesting, usually it’s one of our quarterbacks or staffers doing it, but it was Fromm. I wonder if he’s working his way back to the program to be a staffer? I wouldn’t hate it. DGD.
Oscar Delp finally got to show out to folks, missing the Combine because of a hairline fracture, and apparently, he didn’t disappoint.
He ran a 4.4-40. By contrast, Bowers ran a 4.53-40 at the Combine a few years back. Man, it really feels like we didn’t utilize Delp properly in his time in Athens, but he’ll make some noise in the NFL, I’m sure.
Apparently, another guy made an impression on the visiting pros, and it might not be who you’d think it would be.
I figured Cash would just head back to the farm. But if you can get it, I heard it’s good work up there in the pros. Best of luck to him.
