Kirby Smart and Nick Chubb play dodgeball for the kids (Video)

New Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart and some of his players including star running back Nick Chubb are seen playing dodgeball for the kids.
The new head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs football team Kirby Smart has been all business trying to turn his alma mater’s program from great to championship caliber since taking over for Mark Richt after winning the 2015 National Championship with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Smart has been one of the tough-love types in press conferences, rarely speaking too highly of his players, focused on getting the job done. However, on a recent trip to Camp Sunshine, Smart and a few of his players including junior Heisman hopeful running back Nick Chubb are seen playing an exciting came of dodgeball.
Despite being in his 40s, it’s obvious that Smart is a former four-time letterman with the Bulldogs back in the 1990s for coaches Ray Goff and Jim Donnan. His footwork is impeccable and he’s having an absolute ball playing dodgeball with his players, for the kids of course!
Seeing Chubb participating in a child’s game where he can only get hurt is a fantastic sign for Dawg Nation. Chubb tore his ACL and MCL on that grass-like field that the Tennessee Volunteers call Neyland Stadium (fix your field!).
Though Chubb didn’t take any snaps in the annual G-Day game back in April culminating in Georgia’s spring practice, he is expected to suit up for the Red and Black on September 3rd against the North Carolina Tar Heels at the Georgia Dome for the 2016 Chick-Fil-A Kickoff.
