Three Georgia linemen graded in NCAA’s top five

The Great Wall of Georgia is off to a strong start to the season. The Bulldogs currently average nearly three hundred rushing yards per game. Additionally, three Dawgs are graded among PFF’s five best lineman in the nation:

It’s not shocking to see All-American Andrew Thomas at the top of the list. Thomas is projected as a first round pick in 2020. Thomas is joined by interior lineman Ben Cleveland and Solomon Kindley. Considering Georgia’s easy competition so far, the Bulldogs will have higher grades than teams who have opened against more talented competition.

Regardless of competition, Georgia’s offensive line is getting the job done. In a division where two other starting quarterbacks have already been ruled out for the season, it’s important to keep Jake Fromm clean. Georgia has only allowed one sack so far this season. The offensive line has been a little banged up, but that’s not stopping them from performing.
