NFL Players Returning to College Football | Georgia Bulldogs Football News

College football is heating up as NFL players return to campuses, sparking debate among coaches and conferences. Georgia’s Kirby Smart says his team isn’t targeting current NFL roster members, stressing the value of players who’ve earned their spots through offseason work. He believes each coach must weigh whether bringing in NFL veterans aligns with their program’s goals. Teams like LSU and Texas are already making moves, adding players from teams like the Browns and Saints. While Georgia has reportedly pursued wideout Cole Speer, Smart remains cautious, noting talks are ongoing. He also supports the evolving five-for-five rule, acknowledging how eligibility policies have shifted dramatically over time — from total ineligibility to postseason flexibility. Smart sees these changes as progress for student-athletes, even if imperfect. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
