WRs go to UGA to learn to block.

They do. And that gets them into the NFL.

UGA doesn't throw as much as some teams and we don't feature individual players so we end up with lots of guys with lesser stats rather than one or two with exceptional stats. We also use TE's and RB's in the passing game more than many other teams.

Our WR's can all block very well, are experienced in running complicated routes in a pro-style offense and tend not to be me-first divas.

That's why a guy like Chris Conley who's top statistical year at UGA had only 657 yards ends up as a 3rd round pick (#73 overall) and is still in the NFL at age 30 despite not ever being a star.

Hyatt and Tillman had much better stats... but also went in the 3rd round (picks #73 and #74). The reason is blocking and the type of offense UT runs.
