Over the past month, we've looked at various pieces of Georgia’s team, it’s scheme, and even the 2019 schedule. Now, let’s start examining individual players. We at Pro Football Focus recently released our preseason conference and All-American teams.

For the SEC, 13 Bulldogs were named either first-team, second-team, or honorable mention. While we'll invariably spend a lot of time and words dissecting the play of those 13 individuals, let’s focus on a few players not as hyped on the conference or national level who just might turn out to be vital contributors.

While sophomore Jordan Davis (77.9 grade) has, deservedly so, received a lot of attention for his performance as a true freshman, the 6’3”, 301 lb. junior Wyatt also played quite well in his 235 snaps.

Wyatt’s overall (76.3) and run defense grade (78.9) were just behind Davis. In addition to his performance in the run game, Wyatt was actually one of Georgia’s most productive pass rushers.

His 11 total QB pressures were good for 7th on the team in only 136 pass rush snaps. He saved his best for last a season ago as well, as his 80.8 game grade, 4 QB pressures and 5 stops against Texas in the bowl game were one of the best individual performances of the season for a Bulldog defensive lineman.

While an experienced, starting linebacker might not classify as under the radar, we did put his fellow LB mate Tae Crowder (76.0 overall grade, 82.5 coverage grade) as a second-team preseason selection.

If the 6-1, 235-pound. junior Rice is able to something he didn’t do a season ago--stay healthy--it could very well be him receiving that distinction at season’s end.

When he did play, he played well, and did something better than anyone in the SEC: tackle. On the season, Rice only missed two tackles and his percentage of missed tackles (3.0) was the lowest in the conference.

In fact, Rice has missed only 3 tackles in his 382-snap career. While he can certainly improve in coverage (67.6 coverage grade), look for Rice to be a mainstay in the middle of Georgia’s defense and to continue to do what he does best.

The former 4-star, Rivals 250 graduate transfer receiver struggled to find his way at Miami, but he will bring 767 snaps of experience over the last two seasons to a young Georgia receiving corps.

While Cager’s grades the past two seasons (62.8 in 2017 and 63.8 in 2018) have not been stellar, his physical frame and performance suggest he’ll be a big-time, Javon Wims-type contributor when paired with a much higher level QB like Jake Fromm.

Last season, Cager posted a 115.2 passer rating when targeted, which led the Hurricanes. Also, all 21 of his receptions resulted in a first down or TD. Not coincidentally, in 2017 Wims (79.9 grade) had a 114.9 passer rating when targeted and 36 of his 46 catches resulted in a first down/TD.
