Two Georgia Bulldogs made the first team AP All-SEC first team: left tackle Andrew Thomas and beloved kicker Rodrigo Blankenship. Numerous Bulldogs made the second team as well:

It’ll be interesting to see if UGA can keep up the excellent offensive line play moving forward. The Dawgs are losing their offensive line coach, Sam Pittman, who is now the head coach at Arkansas. Additionally, junior LT Andrew Thomas is expected to declare for the 2020 NFL early and may sit out the Sugar Bowl against Baylor.
Once again, Georgia’s defense is underrated. No UGA defenders made All-SEC First Team and only two (Monty Rice and Eric Stokes) made the second team. Perhaps the biggest snub of the entire conference is senior safety J.R. Reed.
J.R. Reed is nominated for several national awards including: the Bronko Nagurski Trophy. Reed is a finalist for this award, which is given to the best defensive player in the country, yet he didn’t make the All-SEC team? The AP voters can do better than that.
