Jermaine Burton transferred away and to get more PT and had a similar season to his two Georgia seasons. maybe he just isn't that good

I actually said something along these lines when that move happened.

Burton got PT at UGA. But the reality is he had two seasons where he had the opportunity to get all the targets he wanted... 2020 (as the #2) and 2021 (as the #1). He fell back to a #3 spot for UGA both times.

I suggested that after two seasons where opportunity was present... he just might be a 4-500 yard a season WR for UGA... and that likely would make him a 600-700 WR for Bama with them passing more, but not an elite WR like they were used to.

And that's what he did. 677 yards.

Marshall is a different animal though. UGA didn't have standouts at WR for a player to get stuck behind. Burton had opportunity and didn't do much with it. At LB, UGA has a crapload of great players and guys have already moved on when they were down the depth chart to be stars elsewhere (Jermaine Johnson is a great example). To even get the opportunity at LB is tough at UGA. It's not that way at WR.
