LOOK: Jordan Davis provides first look at Georgia National Championship rings
The Georgia Bulldogs are coming off of a National Championship last season, and some key parts of last year’s title winning team returned on Saturday for the team’s spring game inside Sanford Stadium. One of those that returned for Georgia’s spring game is star defensive tackle Jordan Davis, who showed off the Bulldogs’ National Championship rings for the first time at the end of the first quarter.

Georgia dominated throughout last season, going undefeated until the SEC Championship against Alabama. But the Bulldogs bounced back in the College Football Playoff, defeating Michigan in the CFP semifinal and Alabama in a rematch in the National Championship game. Now, Georgia is getting its first look at last year’s National Championship rings, while also turning the team’s attention towards doing the same thing next season.
With championship rings in hand, Smart is excited to ‘start over’ next season
Even though Georgia is coming off of a National Championship and just received its rings for that title, Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart isn’t satisfied. Georgia has worked this spring to continue developing all throughout the roster, and the spring has provided an opportunity to start over and do it again.
“It’s been fun, it’s been really exciting,” Smart said. “This is a great group to coach. We don’t have some of those guys that everybody is talking about on NFL Network as the draft draws nearer. We’re missing some of that talent which is a lot of good football players that left the program but the group we have — they’ve been awesome. They practice real hard each day, they do what we ask them to do.
“We’re really young in some spots but we’ve got some valuable experience. I think when you play in a semifinal game and then a championship game, those players that got to play in those moments, there’s not a price tag or value you can put on that kind of experience. They’ve worked really hard and we got a long way to go but we’ve had a good spring.”
