Nolan Smith honors Nakobe Dean pregame after season-ending injury

A strong contingent of Georgia Bulldogs now plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, capitalizing on some talent from two national championships. Unfortunately, one will be without Philadelphia for the rest of their NFL postseason run. Nakobe Dean is out due to an injury he suffered against Green Bay, a big hole for the Eagles at linebacker.

Nolan Smith decided to honor his long-time teammate during pregame warmups. When running onto the field while being named a starter, Smith was holding Dean’s jersey with him. Raised above his head, the green No. 17 was present.

A nice tribute from Smith ahead of the Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Smith is getting ready to face off against Matthew Stafford, another former Georgia player, and you have to imagine he would rather be playing alongside Dean.
