<p>That is some remarkable consistency &#8211; through three head coaches &#8211; for Georgia.  And some of you might try reading between the lines to see what that chart says about one Rodney Garner.</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong>  It&#8217;s not just about recruiting.  Check out <a href="http://www.steelers.com/news/article-1/Pro-Day-put-Jones-on-path-to-Pittsburgh/ec4c1a93-71bb-4f27-9e1e-587b7995586e" target="_blank">what Mike Tomlin had to say about Jarvis Jones</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>“When you look at the outside linebackers in 3-4 defenses, generally there is some projection and so forth involved in the evaluation,” said Coach Mike Tomlin. “This was an easy evaluation from that standpoint. He plays in a very similar scheme, he’s asked to do things in a manner in which he’ll be asked to do it here in Pittsburgh. Very little guesswork in that regard made it a fun evaluation and made it a comfortable evaluation. He excelled in what they asked him to do, and he’ll be asked to do similar things here.”</p></blockquote>
