All he's done for us UGA the past two seasons is make plays. His coverage of guys like Sidney Rice and Calvin Johnson is a big reason for their lack of success against us.
If you're wondering, "Is this a systemic problem at UGA?" or "Did the system fail him?" I don't know the specifics here. If I did, I wouldn't publish them. However, I challenge anyone to name five football players that have flunked out of UGA over the past 10 years.
I have Jessie Miller (LB) on my list. I think he flunked out in '99. As I understood it, Coach Garner all but drove him to class every morning. So I'm not sure that the system let Jessie down. I remember Michael Johnson losing a year due to a guidance counselor error in 2000, and he was declared ineligible before his senior bowl game. Otherwise, what enrolled football player has been declared ineligible?
We wish him the best of luck as he pursues his NFL dreams via the supplemental draft. As a way of saying thanks here are our two favorite Paul Oliver pictures.
