Georgia received and accepted an invitation to play in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Wednesday, January 1, 2020, but will two of its stars strap on the pads one final time or sit this one out?
As is the trend in this era of college football, and understandably so, players more and more are choosing to sit out and not play in postseason bowl games, especially if those games are not part of the playoffs or the national championship. Why? To limit the risk of injury which could potentially affect a player’s draft.
Last year, Georgia cornerback DeAndre Baker decided not to play in the Sugar Bowl as the senior was projected to be drafted in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
