The Georgia Bulldogs are a team wide receivers should want to play for.

The Georgia Bulldogs are headed into another big game this weekend against Missouri after absolutely hammering the Ole Miss Rebels in their own building to become the No. 1 team in the country.

For a performance like that, numerous guys and the team as a whole obviously had to have huge nights, but individually, no one made bigger headlines than Bulldogs sophomore wide receiver Talyn Taylor. With four catches for 140 yards and three touchdowns, the former five-star prospect had his true coming out party after some big moments already this year.

The wide receiver room as a whole was the most doubted unit on the team headed into the season, and they are proving folks wrong every week and getting better and better. While talking to the media this week, Taylor pushed back against the narrative that Athens is not a great place for star wide receivers.

Taylor Says Georgia is Ideal Spot for Star Wide Receivers

"Just because we don’t have the numbers or the stats of some other players at other schools doesn’t mean that we can't do the same things," Taylor said this week. "A lot of that is that we have a lot of other weapons too. We have good running backs and good tight ends. We have weapons all over the offense… That comment doesn’t really mean anything to me. If you’re any star, you can play anywhere. It’s really about the point you make in the program that people really count on."

Taylor is certainly proving to be a star with each passing week as he gets more and more comfortable in this offense. While Georgia has not had a receiver with a statistically gaudy season in a few years, to act as if it's not a place where star skill position players are capable of thriving is absolutely ridiculous.

Of course, if that narrative is scaring players off, chances are they do not have the mindset of the type of player the Bulldogs try to covet regularly of being unselfish and putting the team above all else. Anyone worried about individual stats more so than winning should probably go elsewhere, because it is the antithesis of what Kirby Smart has been preaching in Athens for over a decade now.

Taylor is a great example of a kid who came in as a highly touted recruit, worked hard for a year to earn his place in the offense and is now reaping the rewards. There have been countless cases of others doing the same, and Taylor is just the latest in a long line of players to flourish in this system.

If players want to get developed at the highest level and do it while competing for national championships every year, then Georgia is certainly an excellent place for them to do all that. Anyone who says otherwise is simply denying reality.

Taylor will continue to prove this coaching staff and the rest of his teammates correct for believing in him over the last two years.
