Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Ameer Speed is a key special-teamer for Kirby Smart and company. Speed came to Athens as a three or four-star recruit (depending on the recruiting service). He’s one of the lengthier defensive backs on the team.
Speed played as eleven games as a freshman in 2017. He redshirted in 2018, but appeared in a pair of games. Last season, Speed played in thirteen games. He recorded five tackles and was named co-winner of the Special Teams Most Improved Player.
Speed is projected to be depth in the secondary in 2020. He has valuable experience and should not be overlooked. His experience could be important with a shortened off-season.
