Jarvis Jones' disappointing Pro-Day audition may be working in favor of his falling to the Eagles in a trade-back scenario of the draft...or at least that is a possibility the Eagles are preparing for. Once thought to be a Top Five pick, Georgia LB Jarvis Jones has seen his draft stock slip after a poor showing at his Pro-Day workout. The Eagles are apparently going to give...

3 Cornerbacks Injured

Georgia's top 3 quarterbacks are injured but unlikely to miss significant time. The good news for the team is that all three practiced when the Bulldogs held a pair of workouts on Saturday and the Sept. 1 season-opener against Buffalo is still three weekends away. Mitchell, who moved to the secondary in the spring after playing receiver last season as a freshman, has...

It's Past Time For Isaiah Crowell Or Branden Smith To Change Uniform Numbers

It continues to baffle me that neither Isaiah Crowell nor Branden Smith have changed uniform numbers. By NCAA football rule, no two players on the same team can line up on the field at the same time wearing the same number. So why in the world do we continue to let two explosive offensive threats wear #1? Though Branden Smith, who wears #1, is a defensive player first, he is...
