Quay Walker Career at GeorgiaThe title of “Linebacker U” is one most often associated with the Penn State Nittany Lions. They’ve earned that title, and their tradition is likely to continue into the 2021 NFL Draft with Micah Parsons. However, the Georgia Bulldogs have been making a strong claim for this title. Next in line to join the litter of former Bulldog linebackers in the NFL could be Quay Walker. Since 2010, Georgia has produced 13 linebackers who have been drafted into the league, led by the likes of Roquan Smith and Leonard Floyd, who were both top 10 picks in their draft classes. Walker enters his third season with the Bulldogs after biding his time in his first two years behind the likes of Tae Crowder and 2019 fifth-round pick D’Andre Walker. Walker spent those first two seasons as a rotational player and special teams star, earning team awards as ‘Special Teams Newcomer of the Year’ as a freshman and ‘Defensive Most Improved’ as a sophomore. Now in his junior season, Walker comes in as the big dog of the Georgia linebacker corps, as the team looks to compete with SEC giants LSU and Alabama. Does Walker have what it takes to lead the Bulldogs defense against these powerhouse offenses? Will he join his fellow Bulldogs linebackers in the NFL after the season? Let’s see what the film says. |
Quay Walker NFL Draft Player ProfileBeing a rare physical specimen will get you noticed, but the league is full of them. You have to have something on tape to show there’s something special other than physical build. Though Walker doesn’t have much tape to showcase yet, there are some aspects of his game that should translate well to the next level. Namely, it’s his ability to stay clean and get to the point of attack. Walker is still figuring out the position, but what he has figured out is how to position himself to get to the ball. He’s explosive through the line of scrimmage on blitzes and knows how to scrape down the line in run support and keep offensive linemen off of him. When linemen do get their hands on Walker, he’s quick to fight them off and get to the ball. " |
