As many publications do, Sports Illustrated is counting down the top-100 players going into the 2017 season. Last week, SI released the list of players ranked no. 100 through no. 51. The rest of the countdown will be released weekly by groups of 10.
So far, a pair of Georgia football players have appeared on this list and one is surprising for the wrong reason. Nick Chubb, of all players, was ranked no. 66 by Sports Illustrated.
Eric Single had this to say about Chubb on the countdown:
Chubb raised plenty of eyebrows by returning to Athens after an up-and-down junior year in which he only occasionally flashed the explosiveness of the first season and a half of his college career.
