Georgia football podcast: Here’s why Monty Rice might be ‘special’ linebacker for UGA

Beginning of the show: Georgia arguably has one of the best defenses in America, but even though the overall talent level isn’t in question, there are concerns about who will emerge as leaders. One of the prime candidates to thrive in a leadership role is linebacker Monty Rice according to former UGA quarterback Jake Fromm, who appeared on a Virtual DawgNation Appreciation video broadcast on Friday. I’ll discuss more about what Fromm said about Rice on today’s show, and share some examples from last season that demonstrates why Rice — in addition to being a top player — is also a formidable voice in the locker room.
