Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback David Greene is one of the most underrated players in college football history. Greene started at least 11 games in all four seasons during his time at Georgia.
The Snellville, Georgia, standout helped the Bulldogs’ program take significant steps forward in the beginning years of the Mark Richt era. Greene notably completed the touchdown pass on Georgia’s famous “Hobnail Boot” play to give the Bulldogs a road win over No. 5 Tennessee in 2001. Greene went on to be named as the SEC Freshman of the Year for his impressive 2001 season.
Greene, who played at Georgia from 2001-2004, helped the Bulldogs win an SEC championship in 2002. He was named as MVP of the 2002 SEC championship game and finished his career with three All-SEC selections.
The 6-foot-3, 225-pound quarterback threw for 72 touchdown passes and 32 interceptions in his college career. Greene passed for 11,528 yards in his career, which was the most in SEC history after Greene left UGA for the NFL following the 2004 season.
Greene finished his Georgia career as the winningest starting quarterback in college football history with 42 career wins. The Seattle Seahawks drafted Greene in the third-round of the 2005 NFL draft. Greene retired from football a few years later in 2008.
