Georgia players give thoughts on championship ring

The Georgia Bulldogs got their first look at the 2021 national championship rings on Saturday afternoon when former players Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean and others showed them off on the jumbotron during the spring game. After catching a glimpse, current players Warren McClendon and Zion Logue gave their thoughts on the design and the feeling it brings.

Warren McClendon explained what he knew about the championship rings, including a possible timeline for when the current Georgia players might get to take theirs home.

“I saw them on the jumbo-screen, but I didn’t get a good look at them,” said McClendon. “Hopefully I get one – we get ours Monday – so hopefully we’ll see them then.”

When asked whether Monday was officially the day the players still on the roster would receive their championship rings, McClendon backtracked a little with a funny comment.

“I think so, I don’t know,” said McClendon. “Whenever I get it, I’m not taking it off. At practice, but I’m going to lock it up.”

Zion Logue got a different look at the championship ring, running into a former Georgia star on the sideline during the game.

“I got to look at them on the sideline a little bit,” said Logue. “I got to peak at Nakobe’s, but I didn’t get to put it in my hand and see what it really felt to have one.

“I love it, it looks sweet. I can’t wait to really hold mine and put it in my hand.”

Jordan Davis shows off championship ring

The Georgia Bulldogs are coming off of a National Championship last season, and some key parts of last year’s title winning team returned on Saturday for the team’s spring game inside Sanford Stadium. One of those that returned for Georgia’s spring game is star defensive tackle Jordan Davis, who showed off the Bulldogs’ national championship rings for the first time at the end of the first quarter.

Georgia dominated throughout last season, going undefeated until the SEC Championship against Alabama. But the Bulldogs bounced back in the College Football Playoff, defeating Michigan in the CFP semifinal and Alabama in a rematch in the National Championship game. Now, Georgia is getting its first look at last year’s National Championship rings, while also turning the team’s attention towards doing the same thing next season.

With many star players entering the NFL Draft this season, head coach Kirby Smart must restock with talent across the board on both sides of the football.
