Georgia brought in Arik Gilbert to help put the skill positions over the top.

Is there any rule about a wide receiver going in motion, ending up with his hand on the grass outside the tackle? That could be interesting. Being a tight end, you know hell be able to block on the edge. Excited to see what this guy will bring to the mix.
We all are hoping he will be cleared to play. That's why he is in summer school classes.
@Popeyethesailor one of the common takes on AG is that he does not like to block. For this reason I am not sure the comparisons made to UF Pitts are all that valid. It seems Kirby has solved this by moving him to wide receiver where his blocking responsibilities will be less. While many point out how AG will be a terror on 50/50 balls, they omit he will probably be well covered as he lacks the skill sets to create openings as a wide receiver.
