ATHENS -- If anyone can understand the transition that’s ahead for incoming Georgia freshman receiver Ladd McConkey, it’s Terrence Edwards.

Similar frame to Phil McConkey who played for the Giants in the 80's. We need a dependable hands receiver in the slot that can pick up first downs and bust some big plays with speed and angles. Go Dawgs!
I think Clemson has or had a guy comparable to Ladd who walked on their team and became a very good player for them. Clutch.
He's a work in progress, probably a year before he's on the field. Keep working hard.
Hunter Renfrow 5'10" 155 when he got to Clemson, took a red-shirt, went to 175 Lbs.
McConkey should work into a decent receiver for UGA....over time. He really needs to get with the physical part of the game more, as he is a tad small but has those sticky hands and fleet feet....two musts to play well in the SEC. Can he take a hit at speed? I think UGA can build this toughness into him by next year. I wish him well.
This young man was a surprise to me when he was offered by UGA but I trust our coaches to know what they are doing so I'm looking for great things from this young Ladd.
