The Georgia Bulldogs have one of the most storied programs in college football. Over the years, the Bulldogs have continued to develop outstanding talent and are now the beneficiaries of 21 football players named to the College Football Hall of Fame.
Georgia has produced superstars throughout the years, on both sides of the ball and in the coaching ranks. Fran Tarketon is certainly one of the highlights from this list as the former Bulldog and Minnesota Viking broke the barriers for similar QBs who didn't play well from inside the pocket and would pursue to flee.
Georgia was 'RB University' for a period of time. Just take a look at how many former players inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame played the HB/RB position.
One cannot forget the legendary Georgia Bulldog coaches either. Many of the coaches in the CFB HOF had unparalleled accomplishments. Pop Warner is now synonymous with youth football around the United States, called "Pop Warner" leagues.
