Former Star Georgia QB D.J. Shockley: Welcome Home Coach Kirby Smart

it was announced Sunday that Kirby Smart has landed his dream job—head coach of his alma mater, Georgia. Former Bulldogs quarterback D.J. Shockley, who led Georgia to the 2005 SEC title while Smart served as the Bulldogs running backs coach, penned this letter welcoming Smart back to Bulldog Nation. All words are his own, as told to Bleacher Report SEC lead writer Barrett Sallee.

To a Damn Good Dawg:

Kirby Smart, welcome backto the Bulldog nation!

I believe I speak for many former players in saying it's always great when you can return to Athens.
