His medicals aren’t getting any better. He was CB1 or 1A on back to back championship squads. He gains little by returning.
Rumors are swirling he his less than totally receptive to playing safety at the next level which may be his more natural position. Seems he is suffering from a similar fate as Jamaree Salyer did last year.
And then Jamaree went out and played “gangbusters” last year….
Go Dawgs!
One of our former posters would have pointed out that, at 6'2", he is too tall for the position. Can't drop his hips well enough and would be better suited for safety. Hmmm.
I think Ringo is a natural safety playing out of position.
That said, he's a very talented cornerback.
Bargain material at this point.
Go, Dawgs!
I gotta be honest, it smells like pure gasoline.
I hear the frustrations in our fans voices. Trying to make sense out of the nonsensical is taxing on the brain. I had to shut off the tv early in the third round.
Some of the guys taken early in the draft have some impressive film, but it's much easier to put together a highlight real when the competition is bad. It certainly calls into question the thinking of NFL team analysts.
I'm not buying the Darnell knee problem. As has been accurately pointed out, he balled out at the combine. You don't run his forty time with a bad knee or effectively run a Shuttle drill. Makes no sense.
Ringo is a mystery too, along with Chris Smith. Yes, Ringo has stiff hips, but he makes up for it with blazing speed. There's no way he's a 4th or 5th round CB, even if he could have used another year at UGA. I have a hard time believing that some of the guys picked thus far are better than Chris Smith. I'm sure his 40 time hurt him, but look at the film!
Agree something doesn't jive. Every Dawg is only a standout because of all the talent around him, but the talent isn't all that great when isolated against national talent.
I guess Stet carried this team on his back to 2 Natties.
I don't think t's the knee injury itself but, rather the tendency to get injured on his part. But what do I know? His knee might be (likely was) healthy enough to perform at the combine. But how likely is it to stand up to game type action? That might be the issue.
I'd like to see that on a red Tee shirt.
😁 True, but teams are made up of individuals so a key player from a great team has more credibility than a player from a worse team, right? .
Not to the NFL.. They are all business. Not fans. And a terrible team could and do have at least a good player.
I was wondering last night how the NFL could really determine whether a player can perform at the next level with enough confidence to pay him 2nd/3rd round money if they have not seen him even perform at the highest level of the NCAA .
If UGA is the best team in college over the past 2 years, wouldn't it make sense that they are also one of the closest approximations to what playing in the NFL will be like? Therefore, if you can play for UGA, isn't it more likely you can play at the next level than if you play at South Dakota State? Conversely, if you have never played against competition like UGA, Bama, Ohio State, etc, how could someone determine with a high degree of certainty how well you might play in the NFL?
I am curious, but I know they have far more info and sophistication that the public and it's their money at risk so it's really just an academic interest for most of us.
A short answer: Jerry Rice
