Quotes
- “What they’ve done and what they continue to do at Georgia, they’re always going to have really good football players.” — Ian Cunningham, Atlanta Falcons GM
- “It’s cool that it’s right in our backyard, so we’re going to continue build those relationships and foster those relationships there and look forward to scouting future Bulldogs in the future.” — Ian Cunningham, Atlanta Falcons GM
- “That’s a hell of a program they have down there and we’re excited to add a Bulldog today.” — Kevin Stefanski, Atlanta Falcons Head Coach
- “I was 17 when I came up here. Like, looking back at my picture in our locker room of when we first got up here, half the time I don’t even know who that guy is,” Morris said. “Just maturing and just thinking about all the great times that I’ve had here, just all the good memories, the locker rooms, the camaraderie, the jokes, the friendships, the bonds that I’ve built here. Then just knowing now I’m in the older role. I’m what Jamaree [Salyer] was to me for somebody else. Now just being able to accept that role and just trying to bring up the younger guys and just lead them in the right way.” — Micah Morris, Georgia OG
- “Yeah, Micah’s a developmental player. These O-linemen come in, none of them are, like, a finished product, and he got to go against a lot of good players. When you think of the seven or eight starters that are starting in the National Football League that were ahead of him, there’s a reason why he took his time to start and play. He’ll probably be the same way in the next coming years.” — Kirby Smart, Georgia Head Coach
