Georgia wide receiver Lawrence Cager is in Indianapolis this week for the NFL Scouting Combine and has so far gone through player measurements, interviews, meetings and medical examinations.
Per a report from Herbie Teope of the Kansas City Star, Cager has already had a meeting with the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs.
What was discussed in that meeting I’m not sure, but Teope was able to ask a question of his own.
Chatted with Georgia WR Lawrence Cager. He tells me he met with #Chiefs for an informal interview.
Asked him who would win a race between Mecole Hardman and Tyreek Hill. “That’s tough,” Cager said before adding Hill would win 50, Hardman a 100. “Go Dawgs,” he said. pic.twitter.com/EIe2YsG5PK

Cager and Hardman never actually played together at Georgia. Cager transferred to UGA for the 2019 season, which Hardman passed up to take his talents to the NFL.
He will not be able to run on-field drills with his former teammates Jake Fromm and Charlie Woerner when the quarterbacks and receivers take the field later this week as Cager is still recovering from a broken ankle.
Via DawgNation:
“My ribs and my shoulder are completely fine,” Cager said, referring to the injuries that initially slowed him down in 2019 prior to breaking his ankle.
“It’s really just my ankle that I’ve been dealing with.”
“It’s a mental game right now,” Cager said. “You’re not able to train, you’re not able to do everything at the end of the season that you envisioned you would do preparing for the combine and the draft.”
In 2019, Cager played in nine of 14 games, with six starts and had 33 catches for 476 yards and four TDs.
