Eric Stokes continues to work on the fundamentals this off-season. He’s still looking for his first career interception:

Why will Stokes get his first pick this season?
The best pass rush in SEC may be in Athens in 2020. Georgia returns two of the SEC’s three leading defenders in quarterback pressures:
#SEC Returning leaders in Total QB pressures (sacks, hits & hurries)
Azeez Ojulari, UGA – 38
Jamar Watson, UK – 38
Devonte Wyatt, UGA – 36
Dayo Odeyingbo, Vandy – 35
Big Kat Bryant, Auburn – 31
Aaron Sterling, S Carolina – 28
Marquiss Spencer, Miss St – 27@PFF_College— Brent Rollins (@PFF_Brent) March 3, 2020
UGA’s pass rush will help Stokes have more chances to intercept passes on errant throws. Stokes did have nine pass deflections, so he was around the ball quite often in 2019. This year look for him to make more splash plays.
Stokes will have a big 2020. Dawg fans can count on that.
