Sam Pittman thrilled to see Georgia OTs taken in NFL Draft

Arkansas Razorbacks head coach Sam Pittman was excited for the selections of Georgia Bulldog linemen Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson.

Arkansas Razorbacks head coach Sam Pittman was genuinely excited for his former players when they were selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Prior to becoming the latest head coach at Arkansas, Pittman coached offensive line for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Pittman excelled in recruiting during his time in Athens. He landed loads of talent along the offensive front. He coached 4th overall pick Andrew Thomas (New York Giants) and 29th overall pick Isaiah Wilson (Tennessee Titans).

Watch Pittman’s excitement for his former players:

Pittman’s connection with his former linemen is father-like. His joy for Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson is incredible. Pittman helped develop both prospects and shared his love for both of them.

Pittman is an excellent hire for Arkansas. He’ll rebuild their offensive front, which was once intimidating. His personality is another reason the Razorbacks will attract top talent again.

Pittman’s not done celebrating the selections of his former Georgia Bulldog players. Offensive guard Solomon Kindley is projected to be selected in the next couple of rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Georgia Bulldogs offensive line coach Sam Pittman has emerged as a potential candidate for the head coaching vacancy at Arkansas. Pittman has been extremely successful in recruiting talented offensive lineman to come play in Athens.

This wouldn’t be Pittman’s first stint in Arkansas:

This is not what Georgia needs to start their off-season. Pittman has recruited the best of any positional coach at UGA. It is worrying that Pittman is considered the top candidate. He’d be a tough guy to replace and I’d imagine Georgia won’t let him go easily. Pittman could likely wait and find a better job than joining Arkansas at arguably the worst point in their program’s history.
