Former Georgia K Rodrigo Blankenship an instant-impact NFL rookie

USA TODAY recently released its list of 20 NFL draftees who could become instant-impact rookies in the 2020 NFL season.

Making the list were two former Georgia football players, D’Andre Swift and Rodrigo Blankenship.

Swift checked in at No. 7 on the list with Blankenship rounding out the list at No. 20.

We touched on Swift here.

Here’s what USA TODAY wrote about Blankenship, who went undrafted in April’s draft but was quickly signed by the Indianapolis Colts.

He won the Groza Award, honoring the nation’s top kicker, while at Georgia last year but didn’t get picked in April.
