“When you commit to the University of Georgia, you get the Combine invite in the mail the next business day” — Kirby Smart’s message and the fast lane from Athens to the NFL
Behind the quote: marketing or truth?
The “pipeline” isn’t an accident
From “commit” to Combine: the rungs on the ladder
The weight of development: from weight room to whiteboard
NIL, the portal, and keeping the program’s soul
Pressure & the flip side: slogans don’t replace reps
Why the line works anyway
The ripple effect: how rivals respond
One crucial truth: Georgia still has to win on Saturdays
