College Football insider Phil Steele believes Georgia has the top backfield in the country.

The ranking makes a lot of sense after Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall combined for 2,144 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns as true freshmen last season. "Neither player was even around for spring last year," Steele notes. "Both backs are big, at 215-plus pounds, and both possess power and speed. Gurley made my preseason All-American second team."

Georgia freshman CB Reggie Wilkerson, an early enrollee, suffered a major knee injury during offseason workouts.

The defensive back indicated it was a Robert Griffin III type injury, meaning a torn ACL and LCL. Georgia has not released a statement on the injury. Starting defensive back Josh Harvey-Clemons has already been suspended for the first game of the season, so Georgia could be short handed in the opener against Clemson.

Georgia freshman DL John Atkins was arrested on Friday on two traffic violations.

Atkins is not expecting to miss game action, since the two charges were minor. He simply was not wearing a seat belt and it was then discovered the 20-year-old did not have a valid driver’s license. After the Bulldogs lost a good number of front seven players, expect Atkins to see solid snaps this season.

Georgia head coach Mark Richt downplayed the loss of sophomore S Josh Harvey-Clemons for the team's first game of the season.

"Even if Josh was starting for us, he's a pretty inexperienced player right now," Richt said. "Even though they're No. 1 in the spring, (it) didn't necessarily mean they're gonna start when the first game came." A few weeks ago, beat writer Seth Emerson tweeted the school's defensive gameplan for Clemson was basically built around Harvey-Clemons, which somewhat goes against Richt's comments. Harvey-Clemons was suspended after being involved in a drug related incident.

Georgia junior WR Malcolm Mitchell has been cleared for offseason activities following minor knee surgery.

Mitchell spent a large portion of last year working at receiver after splitting time at corner. It appears that he'll stay on offense full time, and Mitchell showed excellent lateral agility and burst to go along with his explosive personality on the field.

While evaluating Georgia senior QB Aaron Murray, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah tweeted that it is easy to notice sophomore RB Todd Gurley.

Jeremiah notes Gurley has a very powerful upper and lower body and is excellent at pulling through tackles. Gurley is part of Georgia's two headed monster at running back and, along with Keith Marshall, the team could rely more on the ground game in 2013.

Georgia beat writer Seth Emerson tweeted that the school's defensive coordinators built the team's defense around sophomore Josh Harvey-Clemons in anticipation for the first game of the season against Clemson.

Harvey-Clemons was set to play the hybrid linebacker/safety role and cover plenty of ground. However, he will now miss the contest due to suspension and the school will have to put forward a "different gameplan," as Emerson put it. Clemson lost two very productive skill position players, but they will still deploy plenty of offensive talent.

Updating a previous item, Georgia sophomore S Josh Harvey-Clemons will be suspended for the school's opening game against Clemson.

Georgia has set a precedent to suspend student athletes who are included in drug related events for around 10 percent of that season's contests. Although no charges were filed, Harvey-Clemons did admit to police that he smoked marijuana after a scale was found. He was expected to be included in the starting lineup.

Projected starting Georgia sophomore S Josh Harvey-Clemons was implicated two weeks ago in a dorm room incident involving marijuana.

Police were reportedly called to a residence hall after the smell of marijuana was thought to be coming from a room with Harvey-Clemons and former Bulldogs tight end Ty Flournoy-Smith. The latter recently left the program to transfer to the JUCO level. No physical evidence of pot was found in a search of the room, and therefore no charges were made, but a digital scale was found and the two admitted to smoking marijuana. Georgia has yet to comment on the matter.

Georgia sophomore TE Ty Flournoy-Smith is transferring.

The rising sophomore avoided a redshirt season last year due to the lack of depth at the position, but it obviously wasn't enough. Head coach Mark Richt said Flournoy-Smith will likely go to a junior college and has talked to Georgia Military College. He also left the door open for a possible return after the JUCO stint. The tight end was arrested in February for the misdemeanor charge of filing a false report of a crime.

NFL.com's Gil Brandt ranks Georgia's Aaron Murray as the top senior QB.

Alabama's A.J. McCarron checked in at No. 2, with Tajh Boyd, Derek Carr of Fresno State and David Fales rounding out the top five. We would move Boyd and Fales higher on the list, but plenty can change in the next year in terms of evaluations for this quarterback class.
May 13 - 2:32 PM

Chargers signed Georgia NT Kwame Geathers.

Geathers (6-5, 342) played predominantly nose tackle in Georgia's 3-4 defense while John Jenkins manned five technique. Though Geathers lacks pass-rush ability, he is strong as an ox and projects as an early-down run stuffer. Geathers totaled 40 tackles -- five for a loss -- and one sack as a junior before bolting to the pros. He has 35 1/4-inch arms and ran a 5.44 in Indy. He'll compete for a roster spot with the Chargers.

Redskins selected Georgia S Bacarri Rambo with the No. 191 overall pick.

Rambo (6-foot-1, 211) is a center-field safety with elite ballhawking ability, intercepting 16 career passes as a 36-game starter for the Dawgs. He also forced six fumbles. Rambo ran forty times of 4.64 and 4.66 with a 34-inch vertical at the UGA Pro Day. Rambo isn't a great tackler and was suspended four games in 2012 for a positive marijuana test, but safeties with cover skills have rising value in the increasingly pass-happy NFL. He could be the Redskins' Week 1 starter at free safety.
Apr 27 - 4:53 PM

Bears selected Georgia DE Cornelius Washington with the No. 188 overall pick.

Washington (6-foot-4, 265) played out of position as a five-technique end in Georgia's 3-4 as a senior, which helped limit him to just 22 tackles -- three for a loss -- and a paltry half-sack across 14 games. He played linebacker in 2011 and posted five sacks. Washington has 34-inch arms and shredded the Combine with a 4.55 forty, 1.60 ten-yard split, 36 bench-press reps and a 39-inch vertical. Washington is a bit of a project, but offers big upside if his talent is harnessed. The Bears are loving test freaks in this draft.
Apr 27 - 4:44 PM

Broncos selected Georgia WR Tavarres King with the No. 161 overall pick.

King (6-foot 1/4, 189) hauled in 42 Aaron Murray passes as a senior for 950 yards (22.6 YPR) and nine touchdowns. He lit up Alabama for 128 yards on five catches in the SEC title game. With legit speed (4.47 forty) to separate from defensive backs and long arms (33") to create a wide catching radius, King looks every bit the part of an NFL No. 2 or low-end No. 1 receiver. King will slide in as the Broncos' No. 4 receiver.
