Georgia native and former Bulldog DB Sanders Commings will get to live his baseball dream this season, according to FOX Sports reporter Ken Rosenthal.

After a brief NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs, the ex-Georgia defender has signed a minor-league deal with the Atlanta Braves:

Though Commings still has a very long way to go to reach the big leagues, Rosenthal noted that the Braves have a history of turning football stars into useful baseball players:

Commings was a fifth-round pick of the Chiefs in the 2013 NFL Draft. He snagged eight interceptions during his Georgia career.

He hasn’t played a competitive baseball game since his senior year of high school in 2008.
