Former Georgia running back Sony Michel signed with the L.A. Chargers on Wednesday.
UGA’s third all-time leading rusher (3,638 yards) was released by the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday as teams squared-up their 53-man rosters ahead of the 2022 season, which begins next week.
The 2-time Super Bowl champion and 2018 first-round draft pick played three seasons for the New England Patriots and last season with the Super Bowl Champion L.A. Rams.
DawgNation may remember Michel most for his game-winning touchdown to secure the overtime Rose Bowl win and send Georgia to the national championship in 2018.
Facing second and long in overtime of the 2018 Rose Bowl against Oklahoma, Sony Michel breaks a 48-all tie by racing 27 yards for the game-winning score.
In the win, Michel rushes for a career-high 181 yards, marking his final of eleven 100-yard rushing outings at #UGA. pic.twitter.com/wElHnnkSJI
