The Rotary Lombardi Award released its 12 semifinalists and somehow did not include Georgia Bulldogs defensive tackle Jordan Davis.
The award is given annually to the nation’s top lineman at the end of the season, whether it be on the offensive or defensive side of the ball.
Davis, who has been arguably the best overall player in college football, was somehow left off.
How you don’t include Davis is absolutely mind-boggling.
Many in the media are calling for the 6-foot-6, 340 pound Davis to be in contention for the Heisman Trophy. And no, those are not just members of the Georgia media, but national media members as well.
The Georgia defense is playing better than any offense in the country, and the best player on that defense is nose tackle Jordan Davis.
I don't see why Davis winning the Heisman Trophy isn't an obvious choice.

Davis has been the best player on the best defense in college football. Not including him as a semifinalist was a huge miss by the Lombardi Award.
