Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Sony Michel is retiring from football. The career of an NFL running back is short. Too short. Michel retires as a legend at the University of Georgia and in the NFL.
Sony Michel’s NFL career featured two Super Bowl titles. One with the New England Patriots and one with the Los Angeles Rams. Michel finishes his five season NFL career with 779 carries for 3,243 rushing yards and 20 total touchdowns.
During the 2018 NFL postseason, Sony Michel was unstoppable. He set a rookie record with six rushing touchdowns in the postseason to help the Patriots win a Super Bowl.
Michel won a SEC championship and came up with a clutch touchdown in the Rose Bowl in his final season with the Georgia Bulldogs. Unfortunately, Michel’s final career Georgia game was a defeat in the national championship against Alabama. Michel played at Georgia from 2014-2017. During his time with Georgia, Michel took 590 carries for 3,613 rushing yards and scored 29 total touchdowns.
