Shout out arian. He pissed me off so much in his career but I'll never root against his success.

Dude is fast as hell. Al Davis would’ve drafted him in the first round. If they can help him improve his hands I could see him having a solid career.

Damn Good Dog can be a label for continued success week after week or for someone who did something program changing. His catch versus OSU makes him an all time great and a DGD because without, not sure we get the back to back.

that's probably what he is best known for, although it didn't really take much on his part. I'm not disparaging him by the way, just saying that the DB slipped, he caught a wide open pitch and catch, then ran it in.

I say all that to say this....almost any competent WR would have made that same play BUT the play I most remember and am thankful to Arian for is a hustle play from last year. Now I can't even remember what game it was but it was either Texas (SECCG) or tech. We had sputtered on offense but were putting a drive together and were deep in their territory. We get a big gainer down to about their ~10 yard line and the RB fumbled, Arian never gave up on the play and pounced on it and we'd end up scoring. He wasn't involved in the play or even near it really but he stayed after it and came up huge. THOSE are the kind of plays that not every WR can or would make. Thanks arian

On the OSU thing, I agree Ransom tripped but if, for example, Dillon Bell was the receiver going at him, he might not have tripped because Bell is an average speed receiver. I think he realized it was that number 11 the coaches told him to watch out for screaming at him and he tripped because he knew if he didn’t turn and run perfectly (or maybe even if he did) that Arian would run right by him.

On that day, at the time, it was him... He is a UGA legend and you are not.

For Christsakes, you see how many passes our wrs have dropped since....

Ya, I think the double move and the threat got the Dbs feet tangled… the DB didn’t just slip on a banana peel. He knew he had a burner he was responsible for on the play
