<blockquote><p>But at no position may Georgia be more dominant than placekicker: Georgia has had more placekickers drafted (seven) than any other college since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. The SEC kicking record books are replete with Georgia names. There is only one true placekicker in the College Football Hall of Fame, and he’s a Dawg: Kevin Butler.</p></blockquote>
<p>You should read the whole story, which starts with Allan Leavitt and leaves off with Jared Zirkel.  It&#8217;s an amazing run of continued excellence (even surviving Jon Fabris&#8217; &#8220;challenges&#8221;).  The other cool thing is how the elders, like Butler, have been there for the newer guys.</p>
<p>Hopefully, the run continues.</p>
