Depth was an issue for the Georgia wide receiver room last season. It appears to be an even bigger issue this spring for Georgia, with Kirby Smart remarking that it is as thin in terms of depth as the Bulldogs ever have been at the position.

And that’s with the room having relatively good health at the moment.

“You don’t have depth. You don’t have it anywhere. It’s easy to leave and go places,” Smart said. “Those guys are a little higher maintenance in terms of thinking of themselves. They expect to play right away and go.”

Arian Smith and CJ Smith are both limited this spring after suffering injuries late in the 2021 season. They also happen to be the two fastest members of the team, with both players hitting over 22 miles per hour on Georgia football GPS tracking numbers. If Georgia were to play Oregon next week, the two Smiths are probably capable of playing. But with it being spring, the Bulldogs are taking the cautious route with its two fastest receivers.
