The former Bulldog is projected to be a second round NFL Draft pick.

After rushing for more than 3,600 yards over four years with the Georgia Bulldogs, Sony Michel is gearing up for the next phase of his career.

But the former Bulldog back will take a break from his training on March 18 to coach up some youngsters in metro Atlanta.

On that day at Johns Creek High School, the man who scored the game-winning touchdown in the 2018 Rose Bowl will host a camp for ages 6 to 16, beginning at 1 p.m.
