Handful of former UGA players sign deals as NFL free agents

Five former UGA players were selected in the 2016 NFL Draft, leaving a number of other potential Bulldogs prospects looking for places to continue their hopes of playing in the league.

The good news is, a handful of them have found opportunities as free agents, including linebacker Jake Ganus, fullback Quayvon Hicks, defensive end Josh Dawson, kicker Marshall Morgan, tight end Jay Rome and defensive tackle Sterling Bailey. We’ll let them break their own news.
