The Georgia Bulldogs really benefited from the transfer of former Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Lawrence Cager in 2019. The Dawgs lost both their games when he was injured or limited.
Cager is a dominant possession receiver, who should succeed at winning jump balls at the NFL level. Cager was a joy to watch in Athens and NFL.com compares him to current Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Justin Watson.
Justin Watson played college football at the University of Pennsylvania. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected him in the 5th round of the 2018 NFL Draft. That’s around where Lawrence Cager is projected to be selected.
Watson caught 15 passes for 159 yards and a pair of TDs for Tampa Bay this season. Will Cager have success like Watson in the NFL? Cager can immediately make an impact in the red zone, but much of his production will depend on quarterback play.
