Georgia football podcast: Dan Lanning offers fun description of Nolan Smith, Travon Walker

Beginning of the show: Two of the former five-star signees on Georgia’s roster could be set for breakout seasons. Sophomore outside linebacker Nolan Smith and defensive lineman Travon Walker were impressive last season in their first year on campus, but the best truly could still be yet to come for both players.
