Georgia football fans are counting down the days until the season returns, and as we approach the 66-day mark, let’s shine a spotlight on a notable Bulldog who wore the No. 66 jersey: offensive lineman Solomon Kindley, who is now an NFL free agent.
Kindley, a 6-foot-5, 330 pound beast, signed with Georgia as a three-star recruit out of Jacksonville, Florida in the class of 2016.
As a freshman at Georgia, Kindley was named to Coaches’ Freshman All-SEC Team and played in over 28 games over three years for the Bulldogs.
Kindley was part of one of the best Georgia offensive lines in recent memory that included Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson and helped lead the Bulldogs to three straight seasons of 11 wins or more.
If there is one thing Kindley proved at Georgia is that he is a player that will exceed expectations. On a star studded line at Georgia, Kindley was named the most improved Georgia player in 2018 and won the “Up Front” award, given at team’s post-season awards gala in 2019.
He was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 draft by the Dolphins and spent two seasons in Miami, making 15 career starts. He was then picked up to the New York Giants practice squad and was released this past May.
