2018 NFL Draft profile: Sony Michel brings speed, quickness and versatility to the Lions

No player in the country had a better finish to their season (unless you’re Tua Tagovailoa) than Sony Michel, who totaled 279 yards on 25 carries (11.2 yards per carry) and four total touchdowns in his final two games as a Georgia Bulldog.

Depending on who you ask, Sony Michel may be an even better NFL prospect than his counterpart, Nick Chubb. He’s been labeled as the “lightning” to Chubb’s “thunder,” but as you’ll see later on, he’s got some of his own thunder to dish out.

Michel finished his career with 3,613 rushing yards (16th all-time in the SEC), which is pretty damn good considering he had never once entered a season as the feature back for Georgia’s offense.
