Now:



It's crazy how much Dobbs has physically grown. It really makes me wish we'd been able to redshirt him.

Goodness, he has packed on some muscle. He will need it for some of the hits he will take this year.

SN: It has been really nice having someone like Dobbs representing the university instead of a Bray type. Definitely someone who had a solid upbringing and will succeed in life. It helps that he is a pretty good QB (let's hope the timing is better early this year).

I know some of it may have been the angle that first photo was taken at but it looks like Dobbs has gained a few inches in height since he first enrolled. He's got to be 6'4 at least.

I think the accuracy issues will cleanup this year with better OL and WR play combined with Dobbs trusting his instincts and receivers more. I mean we've all seen what he can do when he's forced to throw the ball and doesn't have time to hesitate or overthink things (e.g. UGA and USCe) and if he can learn to tap into that more consistently I think we may see huge improvement from him. Even if he only taps into that a little more often the improvement should be measurable.

And yeah, we really couldn't ask for a better representative of our university. Josh is a genuine student-athlete and role model in an era with far too few of either.

The first photo is from when he arrived 4 years ago.

Peyton is still taller, but Dobbs is going to kill some DB's!

He was running over them last year. This year they may just vaporize when he hits them.

I was just playing. Dobbs or Hurd are probably my favorite non UGA players on O.

They're fun to watch, especially Dobbs' Houdini-esque escapes and Jalen's "I am a truck" impersonations. We've got talented guys behind them and I feel especially good about the QBs we have on the roster but it's just not going to be the same without them. It sucks that we never got to RS Dobbs.

Chubb is my favorite non-UT player. I actually liked Jalen Tabor a lot before he started running his mouth and reminding me that 'yeah, he's a gator.' Sony Michel though deserves far more recognition than he gets. He gashed us repeatedly last year.
