The Tigers are very deep and talented at this position. I could not imagine how tough it is on players waiting for a few snaps at their natural position and coaches trying to find them any playing time to keep them somewhat content. GO TIGERS

Keep in mind that Leggett is the only one of the group to

ever catch a pass. I've seen Williams and Smith block and they both seem tough and hard-nosed. Someone needs to be able to become an option in the pass game and we've seen no evidence on the field of that ability yet.
Hopefully someone steps up so they'll be an pass catching option after Leggett leaves this year.

I hear that every year about the TE's but only Leggett seems to do much. Deep and talented means you have some catches after your name and you kept some drives going. Hope some of these other guys start doing that

And don't forget, come August, J.C. Chalk will be thrown into the middle of this pack. We are loaded at TE as well.

Richard's just looks to be a very strong TE that could take the punishment of catching the ball in the middle of the field in high traffic, like a Dwayne Allen type TE.

Milan is fighting to win a job and this is the time of year

When these guys that have always been the best athlete on field that reality sets in as the coaches push them to be their best in all areas.
It's tough when you believe your the best(potential) and you don't have the 1st or 2nd string job locked up.
Competition brings out the best in these kids and being in the pressure cooker of the coaches is the very thing that will put the ones who work on academics, being coachable, training, practicing beyond everyone else, staying relaxed/loose having the right aditude and learning to trust these coaches to get their best potential on the field and in life as they become men who strive to be the best at their calling as players, in their purpose and as fathers/leaders of their household to bring and leave the ones after them a strong legacy.
If these guys buy in and become "All In", and they have the ability, they will have a shot to make it in the NFL. Whether they go or not to play in the NFL they will know how to be successful.
I'm sure the legacy of Hershal is hard to live up too, also.
Go Tigers and Milan!

Most fans know his uncle. Many do not know his father Bill was a track All-American at UGA in 1981 who remains a fine gentleman to this day. Milan fits the classic Dabo mold of well-rounded athlete and young man. He understands nothing comes for free and with continued hard work on and off the field, he has a bright future ahead of him. Look forward to seeing Milan develop this year and wish him the best! Go Tigers!

I totally agree about him coming from a great family and I went back and read my above post and the point I was trying to get to I left out. I was trying to say that through waiting, working and hard work he will be a great man with a great legacy and the coaches will put healthy pressure or love to see him/them through.
I'm sorry because I wasn't real clear that the coaches love them hard to push them to see what they are capable of so they know how to be successful.
I agree Milan is a great young man that will be special because all he knows is how to work hard.
Go Milan!
