After last weekend, there are currently 62 Bulldogs active in the NFL (excludes unrestricted free agents)—or more than enough players to fulfill an entire league roster.

GloRilla arrest: Video shows rapper being arrested in Georgia
Video of GloRilla arrest released
Video of the arrest of GloRilla in Georgia has been released. Gloria Hallelujah Woods reportedly failed a sobriety test after being pulled over for making a U-turn at a red light in Gwinett County.
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. – Video has now been released of the arrest in Gwinnett County of the Grammy-nominated rapper from Memphis who goes by the name GloRilla.
GloRilla, whose real name is Gloria Hallelujah Woods, was arrested on April 16 after she was pulled over near Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Suwanee Walk Avenue.
Woods was initially pulled over after she stopped to make a U-turn at a solid red light around 4 a.m.
During the traffic stop, GloRilla told the officer she was leaving a venue in Midtown Atlanta and was on her way home.
At one point, GloRilla asked the officer if they knew who she was.
“Do you know who I am?” Woods asked.
“No, I do not,” the officer can be heard responding.
“Oh,” Woods replied. “You’ve never heard of me, though. You don’t know who I am?”
“Enlighten me on who you are,” the officer requests.
“No, because you still gonna pick on me. It don’t matter who I am,” Woods replied.
During the field sobriety tests, Woods’ right breast came out of her bikini-style top, prompting the officer to instruct her to cover up.
After apparently failing the tests, officers made GloRilla remove her jewelry, placed her in handcuffs, and placed her in the back of a patrol car. At that point, she asks the officers if she can sue them if she was arrested for no reason.
GloRilla was charged with driving under the influence, consuming an alcoholic beverage or possessing an open alcoholic beverage container in a motor vehicle, and failure to obey a traffic control device.

UGASports decided to play general manager of a hypothetical NFL team made up entirely of former Georgia players currently active in the league. In anticipation of the 2024 season, we first trimmed down the squad to a 53-man roster. From there, a depth chart was established.
Considering the following depth charts, how would an NFL team comprised of only former Georgia players—an Only-Georgia team—fare this season in the league?
(Each former Georgia player is followed by his NFL team and number of years of league experience, including the 2024 season, in parenthesis. R=Rookie.)
We’re headed at quarterback by veteran Matthew Stafford, who, in his mid-30s last season, was named to the Pro Bowl. His reserve, Stetson Bennett, is the same signal-caller who’ll actually back him up in 2024 with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Only-Georgia team would likely have the best set of running backs in the history of the league. Although Nick Chubb will likely not be 100 percent by the start of the season, we went ahead and established him as our primary back. Following close behind is James Cook, who’d be effective as our third-down back.
Considering the unit’s top player, George Pickens, has been largely inconsistent and we’re essentially starting two slot receivers (although we’ll likely line Ladd McConkey out wide), the team is thin at wide receiver. Loaded at tight end, however, with Brock Bowers, Charlie Woerner, and Darnell Washington, we’re looking forward to exhibiting a three-tight end set on occasion.
Of the team’s nine offensive linemen, five were first-round selections. Center David Andrews, who has been New England’s starting center and a seven-time team captain since 2016, anchors the unit. At right guard, Ben Cleveland, who appears will be a full-time starter in 2024 for Baltimore, just edges out Jamaree Slayer—for now.
ONLY-GEORGIA – Defense and Specialists
Our 4-3 defense is highlighted by what would probably be the top group of defensive tackles in the NFL. The top four at the unit—Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Devonte Wyatt, and John Jenkins—all have all-star potential. Travon Walker, the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and veteran Leonard Floyd, who totaled a career-high 10.5 sacks with Buffalo last season, man the two starting defensive end spots.
Roquan Smith, one of four Pro Bowlers from last year on the team, spearheads a stout linebacking corps. Smith is joined by Quay Walker and Nakobe Dean as starters, along with quality depth on the second team.
At safety is where there’s likely the most concern for this team. Javon Bullard and Tykee Smith, perhaps our top two players at the position, are both rookies. On the contrary, Only-Georgia is sound at cornerback. The top four at the two positions were all starters in the league towards the end of last season. In addition, rookie Kamari Lassiter, who will possibly start at nickel back for Houston as a rookie, will provide depth.
As far as our specialists, long-snapper Nick Moore was a Pro Bowler in 2022. Punter Jake Camarda likely should’ve been a Pro Bowler a year ago. And although Jack Podlesny has yet to attempt a kick in the NFL, we like our chances with one of the most accurate placekickers in SEC history.
There you have it—the NFL’s Only-Georgia team. For what it lacks at wide receiver and safety, it more than makes up for with an unfathomable stable of backs, a deep, talented offensive line, and a front-seven on defense which would worry most opposing offenses.

Texas A&M baseball coach raises cheating allegations against Georgia pitcher: 'Certainly appears that way'
A recent baseball game between Southeastern conference foes was marred by controversy. Georgia Bulldogs pitcher Christian Mracna’s activity in the bullpen and during a game against the Texas A&M Aggies raised some eyebrows.
Social media videos surfaced showing Mracna appearing to work on his glove as he crouched in the corner of the bullpen during Saturday’s game. Aggies coach Jim Schlossnagle seemed to take issue with Mracna’s behavior and believed the pitcher may have been using some type of foreign substance on the ball, which would be a rule violation.
“Certainly appears that way,” Schlossnagle said in a text to The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It’s part of the game … wish we would’ve caught it.”

Mracna also appeared to reach for an unknown something that was near or behind a post, although the view was mostly obstructed.
He went on to pitch for two innings during Georgia’s 5-4 win over the top-ranked Aggies. Mracna threw a total of 30 pitches over the pair of innings, 23 of which were strikes. He also struck out six of the batters he faced.

Mracna was also seen touching the thumb area of his glove with his right hand when he was on the pitching mound.
Since 2021, Major League Baseball pitchers are subject to forgiven substance checks from umpires. College baseball does not currently have the policy in place.

Georgia did not make Mracna available for comment after the game, and he has not publicly commented on the matter in the days the game ended.

Mracna has appeared in 13 games for the Bulldogs this season. Saturday’s victory over Texas A&M marked Georgia’s 31st win of the season.
