Georgia football podcast: Former SEC star provides hope for George Pickens’ comeback

Beginning of the show: Georgia wide receiver George Pickens’ ACL injury is more than just a blow to UGA fans’ hopes for a national championship. It’s a loss for the rest of college football as well.

Pickens is a dynamic playmaker and must-see TV for many who care about the sport.

In fact, one former SEC player who feels that way, former Tennessee wide receiver Jayson Swain, joined the all-new SEC Country Live Wednesday to discuss why he’s a fan of Pickens and why he believes Pickens could be back playing sooner rather than later.

I’ll share what Swain had to say on today’s show.
