Georgia OT Andrew Thomas announces decisions for Sugar Bowl, NFL future
In a decision that is not a surprise to Georgia fans, talented left tackle Andrew Thomas has announced his decision to leave school for the NFL Draft.
Thomas said he’s dreamed of playing in the NFL since he was a kid, and “I’m taking a step to turn that dream into a reality.” Thomas also said he wouldn’t play in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day against Baylor.
Thomas thanked his coaches, teammates and fans in the “Classic City,” and added that, “wherever I end up next, I will proudly represent the G.”
Thomas received a slew of postseason awards, including being named to an Associated Press All-American. He was also a first team pick for the Walter Camp All-America team, won the SEC’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy, UGA’s first recipient of the award in 21 years, and was named one of four permanent team captains. He was a co-winner of the Vince Dooley Offensive MVP award.

Thomas has consistently been ranked as a high first-round draft pick in a host of NFL mock drafts.

As a Dawg fan, it really hurts to see that Kirby wasted this talent. Getting out early where he can get some high-level coaching and heading to the league prior to a rebuild year is a good move.
Does it make you cringe having to type “As a Dawg fan”? I bet you wish it was true. Even at UGA’s lowest point over the past 3 years I can guarantee you it’s higher than whatever team you root for. What team do you root for again? I don’t think you’ve told us the truth yet.
I’m not a koolaid drinker like some of ya’ll. No less of a fan though.
Too ashamed to admit what team you’re really a fan of. Makes me think it must be something like Florida or Tennessee. Any Florida or Tennessee Fans want to claim this dummy?
You’re a Gator. Period. You let it slip last week when responding to NashvilleGator and Ben7254 on the article about McElwain’s turnaround at Central Michigan. Forgot to change accounts, Sparky.
“It was strength program. Mac didn’t believe in it and it showed in OUR OL/DL play.”
Pathetic. Got nothing better to do than spoon with Trudawg?
Lol poor guy is ashamed to be a gator fan. He’d rather pretend to be a Georgia fan than be a public lizard lover.
Can you blame him? I’d be embarrassed to be a gaturd too.
Mountain Dog, dont be using my name when talking about a troll. I spent years in the electrical trade earning these “sparks”….lol
I can never use that name without images of Christmas Vacation spinning through my brain ;-)
You are not a UGA fan. Also being projected to go in the first round as a junior and winning the acclaim and recognition Thomas has is evidence that he received high-level coaching.
Am too….I even spelled Dawg with a “G”.
Self-admitted Gator.
You’re pathetic eboom. Just pathetic
1. I’m really excited for Andrew. I hope he can still be with the team in New Orleans and enjoy the atmosphere and be there to give pointers and tips to the guys playing.
2. I’m really excited to see who steps into his spot. I know Mays and Truss are the other guys who’ve played in that spot but I’d be interested to see Wilson over on that side. He might be the candidate to play that spot if he stays for next year but if he doesn’t it might be good for him to show scouts that he can play either side, OR he might be a good get for a team that has a lefty QB (Tua).
3. I think he’s gonna be a guaranteed top 5 pick. he’s clearly the best LT in the draft. Depending on who gets that 2nd pick, I could see him going as high as 2 overall.
Most see the Redskins snagging him.
Ugh… That wouldn’t be great for him.
Dude is about to get paid. Good for him.
Steady as a rock since Game 1 his TF year. Hope he’s a top 5 pick and is set for life. Great attitude and will always be a DGD!
I wouldnt wanna be apart of that a$$whipping either…. Is this how you trolls feel all the time?
“I wouldn’t wanna be apart of that a$$whipping either” Is this what you said after Jax?
CHECKMATE!
I troll Uf fans out in the open. Only a pathetic loser like this guy or CO would take the time to set up a 2nd fake account.
What’s my second account?
GatorsLick*hit
Lol – keep making posts like that and you’ll dethrone cojones
You will be crackhead numero uno.
A model of quiet hard work and character.
Looks like Wilson is gone as well, per his tweet.
I’ll be surprised if Cleveland and Kindley stick around.
I could see Kindley leaving, but I doubt Cleveland leaves.
Yeah I don’t think Cleveland played enough to put enough good tape out there. I think he’ll be a full time starter this coming season and you’ll see his stock skyrocket playing either the RG or RT spot, Salyer playing at the other. Cade at LT, I’d like to see some combo of Hill and Webb at LG and C.
