WATCH: Jordan Davis returns to Georgia for hilarious moment with Kirby Smart
Jordan Davis returned to the Georgia campus this week, where he surprised his former coach Kirby Smart in hilarious fashion. When Smart walked in for a coaches’ meeting, he found the 6-foot-6, 340-pound defensive lineman casually leaning back in his chair at the head of the table.
Smart didn’t appear too shocked, as he responded with a “Sup, baby” before joking that Davis should lead the meeting. Then Davis stood up and gave the chair back to Smart, saying he would get out of his hair.
“Everybody was looking at me, so I expected you to be there,” Smart said to Davis.
Kirby Smart went on to compliment Jordan Davis on a response in one of his recent press conferences since joining the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles selected him 13th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, and he has been preparing to start his rookie season.
