Former Georgia OL Ben Cleveland explains why he eats squirrels

Former Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Ben Cleveland explains his “squirrel diet” to the Baltimore Ravens media.

Former Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Ben Cleveland was drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft. Now, Ben Cleveland is already explaining his “squirrel diet” to the Baltimore Ravens media.

The former Georgia lineman makes it clear that he prefers deer meat, but if there’s none of that left, then fried squirrel begins to find its way on to his menu. That’s one way to survive the winter. Ben Cleveland may be looking for a few hunting spots around Baltimore if he hasn’t found any yet.

His quote in this interview is legendary stuff:

Cleveland’s full quote about his squirrel diet is:

I don’t know if it was a specific (squirrel) diet. It’s more so one of those things where you eat what you got in the freezer from the fall. So had a few squirrels freeze-dried in there. So get a little hungry, ain’t got no deer meat left, fry up a squirrel or two and just go eat that.

Ben Cleveland will give the Baltimore Ravens toughness, strength, and power along the interior of their offensive line. Cleveland is one of the more interesting offensive linemen in the NFL. His physique and athleticism combination is impressive and he has lots of big game experience from his days at Georgia.

Ben Cleveland will be fun to watch over the years, unless, of course, if you are a squirrel.
