I have often wondered why fans get so shook up about athletes leaving school early and going to the pros.

There's always someone else.

Matt Stafford set a Georgia single season touchdown record with 25 this past season and announces he leaving school early and heading to the NFL Draft.

You had a fine career in Athens, Matt, but:

There's always someone else.

Knowshon Moreno rushed for over 27-hundred yards in only two season at Georgia and he too is going pro.

You were a sensation, Knowshon, but:

There's always someone else.

To me one of the wonderful things about College Football is the new faces we see at key positions every 3-4 years. Granted, Stafford was good, but aren't you kind of excited to see how Joe Cox will perform. Or even if he will perform. Could be that Aaron Murray or Logan Gray or Zach Mettenberger prevails during summer camp.

Knowshon was incredible. But are you just thrilled about the prospect of Dontavious Jackson living up to his hype or if Washaun Ealey can scores as many touchdowns in Athens as he did at ECI?

And if you are all tied into ratings by the "services," did you know that Jackson was ranked the overall 8th best running back in the country when he left high school? Not good enough for you? The fact is Knowshon was ranked the 10th best running back in the country when he left New Jersey.

With A.J. Green coming back, with a more experienced and healthier (hopefully) offensive line and some new blood in the backfield, I am pretty pumped about the 2009 Dogs.

Stafford and Moreno were wonderful. Great young men to make UGA proud.

But have a nice NFL career, guys. I have not lost a minute of sleep over your departure. Why?

There's always someone else.
