Former Georgia wide receiver Lawrence Cager has signed to the New York Jets practice squad.
Cager played one season for the Bulldogs after transferring from Miami. Cager was plagued with injuries throughout his collegiate career. He received medical redshirt after a season-ending injury before fall camp in 2016 and suffered multiple ankle injuries in 2019 with Georgia.
Despite the injuries, Cager helped lead the bulldogs to their third straight SEC Championship. He was second on the team in receptions (33) and receiving yards (476) behind George Pickens. Cager also caught four touchdowns for the Dawgs, all this in just 9 of 14 games in 2019.
Cager was unable to compete during the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine after undergoing ankle surgery a few months earlier. This definitely hurt his draft stock but let it be known, the kid can still ball.
The Jets signed Cager as an undrafted free agent this offseason but waived him for their 53-man roster. One day later, New York has signed Cager to their 2020 practice squad.
