Last year the Georgia Bulldogs fielded one of the best college football defenses in history. Not only did they produce elite statistics having the best scoring defense in the country and holding opponents to an average of just 269 offensive yards per game. But they produced talent at an elite level as well with 8 defensive players getting drafted this past April.
They did all this with outside linebacker Mekhail “MJ” Sherman playing a reserved role on the defense. But now in 2022, we can confidently say we’ve seen him get more playing time. He just isn’t playing exactly where we thought he would…
Rather than seeing extended time on the defense at outside linebacker, Sherman has taken on a larger role on special teams.
