When David Pollack finished his career in Athens, he left the school as one of the most productive players in the program’s storied history. After suffering a devastating injury that cost him his NFL career, it didn’t take long for Pollack to pivot from that disappointment and transition into a successful career in the media.

With just a few days until the Sept. 2 opener in Athens against Appalachian State, Pollack stopped by his old stomping grounds to offer up a few words of encouragement to Kirby Smart’s team. For the Dawgs sake, let’s hope they listened.

The official Georgia football Twitter account was eager to announce the former All-American’s presence Wednesday night, standing next to his image in the facility.

Following the photo op, Pollack delivered a motivational speech to the team set to his career highlights in the Black & Red. Try not to get chills UGA fans.
