Georgia Football: Pro Day 2019

Georgia Football had its pro day on March 20th. This is the most important opportunity for former Georgia standouts to imprint themselves into the mind of NFL executives.

The Bulldogs' pro day took place on March 20, 2019. The pro day is a variation of the NFL combine for individual college programs. NFL scouts, coaches, and executives are invaded and often attend to see players who were not invited to the NFL combine.

In some cases, the pro day is a chance to participate in drills once again that a player was previously unsuccessful in.

Both Isaac Nauta and Elijah Holyfield will be looking to shake the label of the slowest at their positions. Holyfield ran a surprisingly slow 40-yard dash time at the combine, as did Nauta. Holyfield repeated the 40 and once again came up with a slow time. He is in historically bad company with other running backs that did not make it in the NFL. Speed is key but he has a good chance to shake that notion due to his style of play relying mostly on strength.

D'Andre Walker will be watched closely during his workouts because he was unable to participate in the NFL combine due to undergoing groin surgery. He is looked at as a puzzling prospect as he doesn't have a clear position on an NFL defense. He is running between undersized pass rusher and sluggish pass defender. He certainly has the tools to improve in the right system, though, and find his niche.

Notable players being monitored closely:

Deandre Baker CB

Lamont Gaillard OL

Terry Godwin WR

Mecole Hardman WR

Elijah Holyfield RB

Jonathan Ledbetter DE

Isaac Nauta TE

Riley Ridley WR

D'Andre Walker EDGE

In the past few seasons since Kirby Smart took over, the Bulldogs have been known to put out excellent prospects. Both Nick Chubb and Sony Michel are certainly helping Holyfield's case as they have excelled at the next level due to the way they were taught and coached at Georgia.

Notable NFL coaches and execs in attendance:

Bill Belichick (NE Patriots coach)

Thomas Demitroff (Falcons GM)

Jon Robinson (Titans GM)

Bob Quinn (Lions GM)

It is no surprise to see Belichick at the event, especially after the Patriots selected two former Bulldogs Isaiah Wynn and Sony Michel. Both have impressed in their lone year with the team.

The Atlanta Falcons are almost certainly looking at both Deandre Baker and Lamont Gaillard as defensive back and offensive line are two of the teams most pressing needs.

Former Georgia standouts who were not invited to the combine are looking to make their presences known as this is their first opportunity to work out for NFL executives. Natrez Patrick, Juwan Taylor, and Kendall Baker highlight the players hoping to get their names out there in the draft.

The NFL draft will begin on Thursday, April 25th at 9pm and will wrap up on Saturday, April 27th.

The draft will be held in Nashville, Tennessee.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
