“Here’s a guy they need at Georgia because of the Brock Bowers injury,” Kiper said as he got to McConkey’s film. “Ladd McConkey has come back from a back injury, he has been on the field the past few weeks. But he was in outstanding, pre-injury form against Florida in The Cocktail Party this past Saturday. Six catches for 135 yards and a touchdown.”
“The quickness? When you talk about Ladd McConkey, the hands? He’ll block. And an underrated part of his game? 13.3-yard average per punt return in 2021. You talk about 2022 as well. He won’t be used in that capacity much this year but the punt return skills add to the value of Ladd McConkey,” explained Kiper. “I have a second or third-round grade on him.”
