Lawson Luckie shares great story on how Brock Bowers helped him | Georgia football

um yeah so that's just one of the plays we've been practicing all week and um we hit it a bunch of times coming into the game and then we got the coverage we were looking for and we Carson gave me a good ball and we had a big uh we had a big explosive to start the to start the draft yeah when you hear I guess see that play call coming in do you what are the emotions as a football player knowing hey this has been designed for me this is my um yeah I mean it honestly happened so fast like I'm not even really thinking about that like I'm just getting lined up I mean I'm check checking the defense like looking for how I'm going to run it like there's a couple different ways I could take that route and then I just see what the defense is giving me and I just kind of run it like I try not to think about it too much you don't want to overthink it Boston you were one of nine guys that had a catch on Saturday Carson and the offense really able to distributed evenly uh what does it say about you know his performance where he's at and where this offense is at given us just you know one week into the season yeah I think it shows that Carson has a great ability to read the field and I think it just shows how deep our offense is um we have so many weapons in each position and I think that's a great thing that our team has going for us and that was on display on Saturday also we heard Buzz about you as a freshman and then you wind up getting hurt taught me through coming back from that injury and trying to work your way back been able to play for the yeah it was really tough honestly um coming into the season thinking I'm going to have a bigger role and then just getting hurt right before so came back didn't have as much juice as I had at first took me a while to get it back started to get it towards the end of the season but just still didn't feel like the right same player I was and then now coming back into the season it's a I feel great um it's the best I felt in a long time and I'm excited to be able to get out there and be 100% following up on question was going to ask I me we heard a lot of Buzz about you last spring I think Kirby talked about you in B practice we want to fight people can you can you give us some insight into how you came in and what your mentality was to make that sort of concussion the spring before the injury yeah um I feel like I was really prepared coming from where I come in High School playing Big Time Georgia football um and then coming in I just kind of like played my role they gave me a lot of opportunities in Bowl practice feel like I did a good job of taking advantage of them obviously had a lot of like ups and downs but I did get a chance to shine a little bit and it was it was a really fun time can you give us a a welcome to Georgia moment or something whatever Kirby was talking about I mean was as far mixing it up with some of the older tougher guys on the team uh uh I don't really remember to be honest I mean I had a couple run-ins on like special teams me and Chris Smith like Chris Smith always looked down for me me and him got along well and then he would always give me my flowers but besides that n not really obviously you guys go out at a tight end this offseason what's going through your head when you hear that news and just what's your mentality still trying to compete for uh position in playing time yeah uh I thought Ben was a great addition to our room and I'm glad we went out and got him he's came in and come in with a great hunger and a great addition to our room that we needed and I think it's elevated all of our games bringing in a guy like that so I'm really appreciated what Harley would have got out then I think we I'm thankful for what he brought to this room far be from us the first time you talked to you about uh being the son of your father and your uncle's triplets that came from Georgia you got any uh funny memories you ever mix them up when they're all together and um and what are your what are your first memories uh I assume that you spent a lot of time coming back to Georgia as as you were uh growing up uh yeah not definitely now I can tell the difference but I remember being younger I would see pictures of them in college and I would have no idea besides the number they had on um yeah and then just early memories like I remember being young we'd always one of the games we always went to was the spring game we always came back and went to the spring game and I remember I want to say Murray State a couple years ago um it was the game George Pickins had that big like layout catch I remember they uh they did something they honored my uncle on the field at halftime and that was like cool to see a you got to be around Brock Bowers a lot last year are there any lessons you took from being a teammate being in that tight end room with him that you with you go forward yeah I feel I say this all the time but my biggest thing I learned from Brock is just how consistent you need to be to be an elite player I feel like there's so many players that um Flash and show what they can do but they don't do it on a consistent enough basis and Brock was a lead at that he was the same guy every single day and that was my biggest take away from him is just being consistent the question again I'm going follow up on Brock's question in terms of what you saw from him did you realize uh Brock power's great some the things you saw from well I feel like I knew it before I got to college honestly but just seeing it up close in person was just like the dude never took a rep off never took a day off like every single period of every single day was just like 100% like even on special teams and he wasn't even on special teams they just put him in the drills and he never lost and that was like my biggest takeaway like this dude never loses how in what way you as receiver last right now um I would definitely say my perimeter blocking I feel like that was one of my biggest weaknesses last year after I came back and I feel like that's one of my biggest strengths right now back to your family just for a minute were you kind of raised bulldog in your DNA was there any other choices or were you always was this always the destination and I would imagine they're all prow to see you wearing the red and black yeah I mean definitely grew up like Georgia as my dream school but I definitely like weighed my options coming out of high school it wasn't just all Georgia for me um Georgia happened to be the best place for me and it did happen to be my dream school at the same time so it was a perfect place for me to end up at yeah what have you learned about London home Frey since he's transferred and how has he helped this team uh yeah London just brings some extra juice for us you know London brings some experience of playing which he showed on Saturday London's a gamer and he's uh he brings a lot of speed and he's got great hands and he's just shown that over and over in Camp he's a great effort guy great blocker great dude that we need on our team yeah you talk about family you talked a little bit about your recruitment process you're not so little big or your little brother is now in the midst of his just talk about you know what you're doing to maybe help him out through his process and his growth as a football player yeah I mean I try to help Carter just I mean I'm obviously not a d but I see some of the coaching points that happen all the time and I try to hopefully get him ahead of the curve a little bit and learn some things now that a lot of kids have to learn the hard way when they get to college and I that's my biggest thing I'm trying to get into him it's just it's way different when you get to college and I'm trying to stamp some of those things in his mind now before he learns too late yards after catch always appear to be a staple of georg's tight room how does coach Harley go about instilling out with you guys I mean we work on it like every single day we have this drill called weapons drill and Harley has us do it all the time um and then obviously Brock that being one of the the best things he was at that just kind of got passed down to us you know like him leading the example and we got to kind of uphold that um so yeah definitely heartley start it starts in IND drill and then yeah that's about it what are your impressions of Nate Fraser as as a person and a player he came in obviously afterman teammates been around yeah I mean he came in with his hair on fire and he's just runs that's exactly how he runs like he's done a great job of stepping in and learning quit because he wasn't the mid year so he's had less time and he's done a great job of learning the offense and he just he run like he runs so hard he's always keeps his feet rolling so he's done a great job what's like face of Jay Walker inside outs you to pick him up it's a great learning experience great way to get better like that dude's the elite the best of the best our whole linebacker Court um they're all the best of the best so going against them every day especially jaywalk as a pass rusher um that's one of the hardest things to defend and then so yeah going against him is just great reps gets me a whole lot better um can you describe Jay the pass rusher what what are his strengths defend yeah I mean yeah he's a great he's a super super high effort guy he's really strong really fast like he has all the things to make him a great pass rusher and he handles his business off the field so I mean when a dude as talented as he is puts everything together it's a hard thing to stop a lot of questions about things that you might have taken from Brock or tried to take from Brock is there anything that he did or that you watched him do where you were just like well there's just no way I can do that I mean we've all seen the Bama clip his freshman year when he broke all those tackles on that screen like I mean when he does some stuff like that like that's crazy but a lot of the stuff I mean it is like doable he's just so consistent at being so good about it and he always showed up on Saturdays so that's one thing I just got to learn is take it from the practice field and show it in games consistently when quarterback gives you a chance you got to make it every time that's what he did time for one more anybody has one for Lawson okay one more thank you one more can you describe a weapons drill weapons drill uh yes it's uh it starts off with a bubble screen we catch a bubble screen and then we run down we got a equipment guy holding a holding a dummy we stiff arm it and then we run like another 10 yards and then we like truck two of our player managers and then it's like a it's like it's like a 50 yard drill where you do like every move you can do but the manager love it yeah thank thanks aw
