Who are the 2021 NFL Draft prospects to watch in Georgia vs Arkansas?

Is college football truly back until the SEC is playing? The premier college football conference finally returns to action on Saturday. The college football landscape obviously looks completely different in 2020 and the SEC is the most prevalent example of that. First, the conference decided to wait until the end of September to return to the field. Second, they will only play a 10 game schedule with all being SEC games and no non-conference games.

Georgia and Arkansas will open up their 2020 seasons when they face off on Saturday at 4:00 pm on the SEC Network. Georgia will look to build off their excellent success in recent years and finally breakthrough to win the SEC Conference Championship. Meanwhile, Arkansas is just hoping to show improvement in the first year under first-time head coach Sam Pittman.

Georgia went 12-2 last season and made it to Atlanta for the Conference Championship game for the third consecutive season. The Bulldogs couldn’t pull off the win for the second time out of those three seasons, however. Georgia is once again a legitimate contender in the SEC again with NFL type talent all over the roster. The Bulldogs are not just contenders for the SEC, they are clear College Football Playoff and National Championship contenders as well.

Arkansas, meanwhile, struggled mightily in 2019 on their way to a 2-10 record. That’s not even mentioning that they didn’t win a single conference game last year. Razorbacks fans are hoping that Sam Pittman will bring in a new era of Arkansas football and get the program moving back in the right direction. It honestly can only go up for the Razorbacks in 2020.

Whenever SEC teams face-off, it is inevitable that there will be NFL-caliber talent at nearly every position on the field. That is no different for this game. Here are the main prospects to watch from both teams:
