Elijah Griffin needs to be 'unblockable' for Georgia defense to reach its goals
ATHENS â Georgia defensive tackle Elijah Griffin and Sabrina Carpenter could not be more different. The latter is an internationally known pop star who regularly makes note of her lack of height.

Kirby nailed it… "destructive attitude". Obviously the best D players have an elite skill set and unbridled motor. They need to develop/learn effective techniques and tricks of the trade. And they have high football IQ that enables them to make fast, correct decisions. But they also have a mindset that they WON'T be blocked, and they WILL rip the other guy a new one. Go Dawgs!
“The one trait that I think I’ve always found in defensive linemen, and I tell the players this, is are you hard to block? And people that are hard to block, number one, they usually make a lot of money, but number two, they also cause a lot of disruption. So he’s growing into that,” Smart said.
As he reaches the point where he must be double-teamed to be stopped, that is when we will see the Line Backers' production shoot through the roof. The disruption that he is capable of will come from a different source as he is occupying blockers, and frustration will destroy the confidence of the opposition as they try to find a way to move the ball. Yes, he will be hard to block and he will add incredible value to one of the nation's best defenses.
GO DAWGS!
“He’s very quick for his size, and just being unblockable is what we’d like to see, and playing with a high motor and a destructive attitude.”
Sounds like someone else we know…Jalen Carter.
Looking forward to some destruction…
