I know alot of the Georgia faithful were really down on AJ Green after his showing against a superior Booker T. Washington team. AJ's stats so far this season don not look all that bad.
vs. Booker T. Washington
5 receptions for 52 yards
vs. James Island (played in the rain)
2 receptions 18 yards
55 yard punt return for a touchdown.
vs. Wando
9 receptions for 144 yards 1 TD
He also rushed for another TD while lining up as a QB.
Some things you may not know about AJ Green.
We all know that he is a gifted receiver, he also plays CB and is also the Greenwave's back-up punter. During his junior year he has lined up at the RB and QB positions.
What really strikes me though is what Hall of Fame coach John McKissick(544 career wins) has had to say about AJ.
"He does what's best for the team, A.J. throws the ball real well and is active back there. He'll do anything to help the team. He's not selfish. He's not a 'give-me-the-ball, give-me-the-ball' player. We'll use him a little more on kickoff and punt returns. He's an outstanding runner once he gets the ball in his hands."
To me that says it all. As a graduate of Summerville High School, I am fully aware that it is rare for Coach McKissick to single out a player to the media. Also I beleive that this speaks highly of the person that AJ Green is.

I'm a HUGE fan of AJ and can't wait to see him don the silver britches. A recent article in Dogbytes talked about his progress in the classroom & with overcoming what some call a learning disability. He took summer classes, worked with a tuor, successfully earned the ACT score he needs for admission to UGA, and worked a part-time job. He's an amazing kid of character & talent. So glad he wants to be a Bulldog!
Great post.
