J.R. Reed on former Georgia football teammates invited to NFL Combine

In his final appearance before media members at the NFL Scouting Combine, Georgia’s J.R. Reed took time to acknowledge the impact his Bulldog teammates imposed upon him.

“It’s amazing, man. I miss my defensive teammates. I think some of them need to be here.”

Georgia fans could argue that there are several spurned Bulldogs who deserved an invitation. One former letterman took to Twitter to protest Tyler Clark’s omission from the Combine’s list of participants.

Continuing his praise, Reed proceeded:

“Seeing my offensive guys and seeing the guys I came up with and played with for a while…seeing those guys go out there to do well and perform, man, it means a lot.”

As a do-it-all safety who had to defend against that offense in months’ worth of inter-team practices, Reed then fielded questions on his perception of the future of Georgia’s offense.

“We’re definitely gonna run the ball, I can tell you that. Now, everything else? I don’t know anything about that.”

Further denying any inside information, the projected draft pick answered again:

“I haven’t really been back [in Athens] to get into details about the offense, but I can tell you we’re going to run the ball.”
