Georgia football podcast: It’s fun to see George Pickens getting some national attention

Beginning of the show: Georgia wide receiver George Pickens’ breakout performance in the Sugar Bowl seems to have earned him some national attention. Pickens was mentioned among Heisman contenders in the latest odds from the Las Vegas SuperBook (via Brett McMurphy) and Pickens got a mention in a recent ESPN article that touched on UGA’s national title hopes.
