LeBron James names Georgia WR one of his favorite NFL players

Former Georgia football wide receiver Ladd McConkey has earned himself a lot of fans since his arrival in the NFL. Every Georgia fan knew how special of a player he was, but the rest of the NFL had no clue what was coming.

McConkey has only played one season in the NFL, but it was one of the best seasons out of any rookie during the 2024 season. During his one season with the Los Angeles Chargers, McConkey recorded 82 receptions for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns.

As mentioned, this impressive season earned McConkey a lot of new fans, and that includes none other than the best player in the NBA, LeBron James.
