Georgia Football: Five Special Teams Players Who Need to Breakout in Spring Practice
By W. M. Lawson
The 2017 incarnation of the Georgia Football program began Spring practice Tuesday, March 21st, and these five players need a breakout Spring for their future and the team’s future.
4. WR/KR- Tyler Simmons
This True Sophomore from Powder Springs is a bit of a reach here. There hasn’t been anything to link Simmons to the Kick Return or Punting duties, but one has to think the coaching staff will at least discuss it or look at it. You see, Simmons is the type of player who can “take the top off”. He was clocked running a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash.

Much like Hardman, this guy can flat out fly, and the coaching staff has to take a look at putting the ball in his hands. And with Hardman probably in the 2-deep on Defense, and probably getting looks on Offense, he might be busy. Simmons gives you scorching speed with Wide Receiver hands. Not a bad combination back there with Sony Michel. If Tyler Simmons wants to make an immediate impact, Kick Return could be the spot.
