https://247sports.com/college/georgia/Article/Georgia-Football-Andrew-Thomas-entering-2020-NFL-Draft-skipping-Sugar-Bowl-140691021/?fbclid=IwAR0eZ_ig90FNecvvHs8VP95C64BviFa_Jb9wAl7waIYT_buWk1j2P9LTa-Y

Andrew Thomas, junior OL at UGA, also not playing, leaving early, as expected.  Andre Swift is very likely to do the same.

Thomas is following the same path as former UGA cornerback Deandre Baker, who elected to skip the Allstate Sugar Bowl against Texas a year ago to protect his professional interests. Junior running back D'Andre Swift is also expected to turn forego his senior season but has yet to announce and there's a strong chance that redshirt sophomore right tackle Isaiah Wilson could do the same.

I hope the kid has a huge game and improves his draft stock

Deandre Swift says he will decide about the NFL after the Sugar Bowl, which I infer means he's playing, which I did not expect.

Yup.  I'll be pulling for the Ags on behalf of my i s c & a aggie wife, but I love it when a promising prospect plays instead of sitting out.  Best of luck to him!

Where do folks have him going now?  (I realize "folks" are guessing at this to a large degree.)  I also would like folks who play to have a game that ups their stock.

This is a bit out of date and has him seventh among running backs (but they also have D'Andre Swift at first, which probably is a dubious guess).

I've heard 3rd-roundish, whereas a great senior year might boost him to 2nd round.
Running backs have become devalued in the NFL.

Maybe, but several are projected first rounders.  I wonder why sometimes, though of late some first rounders are doing pretty well.

I thought he was a true sophomore for some reason.

A - freakin O-linemen are sitting out bowls now?  What's the odds they get hurt - 0.00001%????  FFS

B - if any NFL team alters its value of a player by what he does in a bowl (ie - ONE GAME), then they're probably a dumpster-fire of a franchise

An OL can get hurt, obviously, usually a knee or ankle.  It happens fairly often, but USUALLY is not career ending.

My guess is they want to spend the time "preparing" for the combine instead of practicing.  

And I think a player somewhat "off the radar" might get some good attention if he has an outstanding performance in a bowl game.  He might move from round 5 to 4, maybe.

I understand the one Alabama LB sitting out - dude missed all of 2018 with an injury and 10 games of 2017.  Why a team would draft a guy like that beats me....

Somebody might see potential and take him 7th round, or UDFA.

Apparently he's the 63rd-rated player overall.
