Miami Dolphins fans, get to know your new OG Solomon Kindley

Saturday, the Miami Dolphins selected Georgia guard Solomon Kindley with the 110th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Miami Dolphins selected Georgia guard Solomon Kindley with the 111th overall pick (4th round) in the 2020 NFL draft.

If you’re a Dolphins fan, you may be wondering who Kindley is and what skills he will bring to Miami?

As a freshman at Georgia, Kindley was named to Coaches’ Freshman All-SEC Team and played in over 28 games over three years for the Bulldogs.

Kindley was part of one of the best Georgia offensive lines in recent memory and helped lead the Bulldogs to three straight seasons of 11 wins or more.

His fellow teammates Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson were also drafted this year and along with Kindley.

Kindley brings toughness and power at the guard position. At 6-foot-4 340 pounds, the Jacksonville, Florida native is a force inside and is a linebacker’s nightmare when he moves to the second level.

NFL draft analyst Lance Zeilein wrote :

“Nasty guard who lives in scrap mode, looking for fights inside a relatively small phone booth where he’s most comfortable. Kindley has the frame of a powerful guard, but doesn’t bend well enough to generate leverage and push at the point of attack. He’s a mauler with enough finesse to get to some reach and cut-off blocks, but faces scheme limitations.”

If there is one thing Kindley proved at Georgia is that he is a player that will exceed expectations. On a star studded line at Georgia, Solomon was named the most improved Georgia player in 2018 and won the “Up Front” award, given at team’s post-season awards gala in 2019.

Titans fans, get to know your new OT Isaiah Wilson

The Tennessee Titans selected Georgia OT Isaiah Wilson with the 29th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Thursday night, the Tennessee Titans picked Georgia OT Isaiah Wilson with the 29th pick in this year’s NFL draft.

Wilson is declared for the draft as only a red-shirt sophomore. Yes, he is young, but at 6-foot-7 340 pounds, he has the strength and quickness to contribute to any NFL offensive line and could be an All-Pro tackle given the time.

Wilson, a former 5-star recruit from Brooklyn, New York, red-shirted his first year at Georgia and then burst onto the scene in 2018 and was named to both the Football Writers Assn. of America Freshman All-America Team and 2018 Coaches Freshman All-SEC Team. Injuries bothered Wilson in 2019, but he still earned Associated Press All-SEC 2nd Team honors.

NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. wrote:

“So, I think if you get him in the second round, then you’ve got yourself a player that you think has a bright future. If he’s brought along at a nice pace and coached up, there’s a lot of talent to work with there.”

Something that Titans fans should note is that Wilson is not only a young, talented player, he is also a good teammate.

Wilson said:

“My teammates, they’re brothers to me, they’re not just teammates, It was tough to decide I was going to forego my last year. It was tough knowing I’d be leaving my teammates behind. That made this decision definitely tough for me. But ultimately, I decided I was just ready to go to work, and to start trying to attack the next level of my life.”
