A.J. Green Turns Heads at NFL Combine

All eyes were on A.J. Green.  As one of the first high-profile, likely top-10 picks to make his way into the NFL Scouting Combine media center Friday, Georgia WR A.J. Green drew quite a crowd of reporters.
Off the bat, Green was asked about his decision to enter the draft after his junior season.

“Just because of the window of opportunity, it can close on you,” Green said. “It’s a small window. You have to capitalize on it. I feel like with school, I’m very close to getting my degree. So I’m making the best decision for me and my family.”

The consensus top receiver available — he’s also Mike Mayock’s top ranked wideout– Green seems to hold that position in high regard.

“I’m not going to settle just being an average receiver,” Green said. ”I take that to heart, being one of the best. I don’t want to fall by the wayside in being the No. 1 receiver coming out and then just being the other guy. I want to be mentioned with the best.”

Green, who said he measured in at 6-foot-3 and 211 pounds, plans to participate in all combine drills.

Unless Green runs a disappointing 40 time, he will be the wideout in demand. The team that does draft him will be getting a football-hungry player. Could it be Buffalo, Cincinnati or even Cleveland?

I think Green is going to be a star.  If he gets in the right organization, with the right quarterback and offense, he'll be huge.

Ouch! Georgia Football falls to 0-2 in SEC

It's the first time in 17 years, Georgia lost to Arkansas in Football. It's the first time in 17 years, the Bulldogs dropped to 0-2 in the SEC.

The loss left Georgia in sole possession of last place in the SEC East -- behind even Vanderbilt, which beat Ole Miss on Saturday.

Georgia starts each season with the goal of winning the division, and that appears implausible, if not impossible, from the perch of an 0-2 league record (1-2 overall).

Georgia rallied from a 24-10 deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game on Washaun Ealey's 3-yard touchdown run with 3:55 remaining and seemed to have all the momentum.  But it wasn't enough.

Georgia got the ball back with a chance to win it, but Jake Bequette halted the drive at midfield with a ferocious sack of Aaron Murray, ripping off his helmet in the process. A poor punt by Drew Butler gave Arkansas the ball back at its own 28 with 47 seconds left.

Plenty of time for Mallett, who completed three straight passes — the last of them to Childs, who was wide open along the sideline, cut inside to fake out safety Shawn Williams at the 25 and went the rest of the way untouched for the winning score.

Georgia continues to play without All-American wideout A.J. Green who is serving a 4-game suspension.

Georgia is in trouble and they now have to goto Mississippi St. next week.
