    Man, one of my favorite all time DAWGS. Always loved his play and his love for the team. Man, he always seemed to show out when they played the Vols. Glad he is staying close to the team and his old teammates. He and Marshall were something else and always felt like Marshall got cheated with the knee. Great guys and ball players.

    If Keith Marshall could've stayed healthy, him, and Gurley would've been an unstoppable duo at RB.Marshall was as highly, maybe higher rated than Gurley out of high school. But he just couldn't stay healthy..GoDAWGS!

    TG sure was fun to watch, glad he's still close to the team. I like the fact he points out Brock and Ladd as his favorites, the two hardest working players on the team. Also the players that seem to love the game the most.

    Marshall was a great HS player, but his being rated higher than TG was/is laughable. It’s also an indictment of the recruiting industry. The majority of those guys don’t really know football. They see and value measurables—just like any other average fan—fall I love with them and slap 4/5 stars on them. The biggest disconnect is when they can’t project how good a player will be. This is an obvious sign of a lack of real experience.

    No, before Keith Marshall got hurt he was a (NFL Hall of Famer) Marshall Faulk type player with size, speed, power, cutback/elusiveness ability as well as receiving skills to rival a TE. In today's game, guys with Marshall's skills are (sadly) playing WR, OLB/edge or safety.

    Keith Marshall at UGA, RB Marcus Lattimore at South Carolina a couple years earlier ... both those guys would have had 10 year NFL careers if not for college injuries. And it is precisely because of said catastrophes that I find it so hard to get worked up over NIL. Had NIL been in place back then, both Marshall and Lattimore would have still been millionaires despite their career-ending college injuries. UGA's Sony Michel was fortunate that his career-altering injury happened a couple of years later after he had already been a 1st round pick with the Patriots. Otherwise he would have been in the same boat.

    I have to agree, McConkey is one of the best receivers I have ever seen. He runs very precise patterns, has great speed, and the move he made reversing field against the Gators was a thing of beauty.
