Even if he didn’t play a down of football for Georgia this season, inside linebacker Nakobe Dean played a part in Georgia winning its second consecutive national championship.

He helped create the standard that which Georgia linebackers Jamon Dumas-Johnson and Smael Mondon must uphold. Those two did, leading the team in tackles in their first season as starters for Georgia.

As the confetti rained down in SoFi Stadium, Dean couldn’t help but smile, a mixture of pride and happiness for his Georgia brothers.
