This just illustrates how poorly UGA has recruited this position.

It feels like the rankings get WRs wrong more than any other position. I don't know if the numbers bear it out, but it definitely feels like there are more misses at the top and more guys popping up out of nowhere.

Chose baseball. Then walked at Auburn after that didn't work out. I think he actually caught a TD pass in their game against Florida State in the BCS title.

Thanks for your answers, it's interesting to me to read up on the "studs" that just faded away.
And yes, sadly, I know the Norwood name very well for the wrong reasons. Was at that game.

AJ Green is adjusting to perennial ProBowl WR just fine for the Bengals
Tavarres King provided a great 1-2 punch with AJ Green throughout his tenure with UGA. Was part of the Senior class in 2012 that came within a few yards of beating Bama for the SEC. Was always a sure handed option for Aaron Murray. Ended up being drafted in the 5th round by Denver in 2013. Currently on the NY Giants roster.

Marlon Brown took a few years to get his footing at UGA. Was never a breakout star, but was always solid. An injury during the Ole Miss game his Senior year, derailed a great season. He is currently one of the most solid receivers in the AFC North with the Ravens.
Orson Charles was a standout TE throughout his time at UGA, and was a finalist for the 2011 Mackey Award. Drafted by Cincinnati in the 4th round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Last played for New Orleans last year on the practice squad, but is now a free agent.
