Last season the Kingsland, Georgia, native was also a key contributor to an offense that ranked third in the NCAA in first downs (316) and first nationally in fourth-down conversions (76.5%) during the regular season.

Micah Morris on facing Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter in practice at Georgia: “Well for starters, it was not fun at first, I’ll tell you that much. It was not fun at first. But it prepared me for this moment. It just provided me with the chance to learn from the best and develop. Obviously I’m just giving them a look, just being scout team, but I’m also perfecting my craft and working against first round draft picks, elite NFL players, All-Pro players. Just being able to do that at a young age, at that point, [against] All-American college players, just being able to give my best against them and try to hold my own against them so whenever it is my time, I’ve been through the hardest that there is to offer.
Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman: “There’s a lot to like about him. He’s got great size. All of his testing is through the roof. He started every game for Georgia this year. He’s got incredible experience playing in the SEC. He’s got all the ability, and now he’s got to apply that as he gets an opportunity to come here. Another guy just, as we were going through it, stood out on our board for where we were and obviously an important position, so we took him.”
