My brother played at Georgia in 1976 and 1977. He was captain of the "Junkyard Dogs" and he still wears the coveted SEC Champion ring.
By 1980 he was back in Athens in law school. Yes, some of the football players can read, and write. Very few. As a Bulldog alum he had access to the football team weight room and steam room etc. He said they have a very costly gym for football players. So one day, brother was in the big steam room way in the back. A guy walked in, it was weird, the guy was just standing by the door, and he was wearing a sweat shirt. And what was really weird, looking through the thick steam from 15 feet away, he could see this guy was wearing shoulder pads. This the fall of 1980, he figured it was some goofball freshman recruit.
He walked over to the door to leave and to check out this weird kid. As he got to the door he saw it was Herschel Walker. He had on a sweat shirt, but he wasn't wearing shoulder pads that was just the way he was built.
