Georgia football great, No. 47, David Pollack is one of two Georgia players to ever be named A three time all-american. (Herschel Walker)
Pollack, from Snellville, Georgia, played for the Bulldogs from 2001-2004 where he totaled 36 sacks – a school record. Pollack’s accolades included 2002 SEC Player of the Year honors, the 2003 and 2004 Ted Hendricks Award, and, all in 2004, the Chuck Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy and SEC Defensive Player of the Year.
Pollack was taken by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 17th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, but his career was cut short by a broken cervical vertebra that he suffered in a game in 2006.
Pollack turned to sports media after his injury and he has since become one of the faces of college football because of his work at ESPN and his involvement in ESPN’s College Gameday.
