Caleb King reclined in a chair after Georgia’s 1st day of practice this week with a broad grin on his face. He had been through 3 grueling hours of workouts under a scorching sun, but he was ready for more.
“I’m honestly not tired,” he said. “I could go out for another practice.”
It’s hard for King not to be energized by the opportunity at hand, and while Georgia was less than 24 hours into its fall practices, the competition was already intense.
No depth-chart battle will be watched more closely this fall than the fight for the starting tailback job, and while King is the most veteran of the 5 contenders, he’s taking nothing for granted.
“I see him hustling,” head coach Mark Richt said. “I’ve not seen one loaf in that guy, and he’s had a good energy level at every practice.” King hasn’t had much choice. While the winner of the tailback derby may not even be decided by the first game, he knows he could be eliminated from contention at any time. The SEC Rocks!
