I love this quote from Charles, "Right now, all you have to do is grind and it will pay off. Work on your 40. Work on the drills. Keep your nose clean. Don’t go partying, because after you get drafted then that’s when the real business starts."
As always, football is a metaphor for life in general. Work hard for your goals now and be ready for the opportunity when it comes. You might only get one chance.

I love Orson but come on man.. Seriously? “What does Aaron Murray have to come back for?”.. We havent won the SECCG in years, he’s a possible heisman candidate, and he’s a team first player. Some people just don’t have that mentality.

Glad they are back getting their degrees. I think Orson is a little out online with that comment. I mean did he really need to leave last year? He wast drafted THAT high an I watched a few Bengals games last year and didn't see him once. I know AMax is a Cincy fan, did you see him play much last year?

Orson got a fair amount of PT as the 2nd TE and even started a couple of games when Cincy decided to begin the game in a 2 TE set. That being said, he made his decision and Arty's production was pretty much comparable to Orson's final year.

I am so happy to see both men back on campus, how happy all moms and dads will be to know not only will their child get a chance to play in the NFL but also have the leadership and guidance from UGA coaches and staff to think of life after the NFL. How could you not want your kid to be apart of playing football at the higest level in college.
All the while having a family structure and the understanding of the importance of and education. Wow i take my hat off no matter how this recruiting class turn out they doing all they can the right way and have put in place a structure to win both in and out of the class room and life. I think we all need to give our coaches and UGA staff around of Applause! GO Dawgs
