Georgia running back Knowshon Moreno caused some brief panic attacks when he walked out for Friday's practice wearing a green jersey.

However, coach Mark Richt said his potential Heisman Trophy candidate had no serious injuries. Moreno was held out of contact because his left shoulder was "nagging him."

"I don't know if [the green jersey] makes a whole hill of beans," Richt said. "When we do our [non-tackling contact] drills, it's hard for him not to get run into, or to bump into somebody going through the line."

Richt did not know whether Moreno would continue wearing the green jersey for Saturday's practices, which are both the first for two-a-days and full contact. Georgia running backs coach Tony Ball made the jersey decision after seeeing Moreno favor his left shoulder during pass protection.

"Knowshon is not the type of guy to go to the trainer and say 'my shoulder hurts a little bit,' " Richt said. "[But] he's fine. He could play today, absolutely."

Another Moss in the making?

Heralded freshman wide receiver A.J. Green has been so impressive in camp that he has Richt already talking about NFL All-Pro Randy Moss. Richt was at Florida State in 1995 when Moss was redshirted before he transferred to Marshall the next season.

"When the Vikings drafted Moss ... I told Brad Johnson [Richt's brother-in-law and former FSU quarterback] to [quicken] up your drop, plant your feet and throw it as high and far as you can, and he'll get it," Richt recalled Friday.

Did he tell Stafford the same thing about Green? Richt laughed and said, "Stafford patted the ball once or twice [on a deep ball], and didn't get it to him. The big boy had to wait. He was a little disappointed. I think he came back to the huddle and told Stafford to 'throw it as far as you can.' "

Richt even went as far to say that he has never had a wide reciever such as Green since he has been at Georgia.

"I'm not saying he's the best one, there's just no one we've had like him. ... We haven't had anybody that tall [6-foot-4] with long arms. Sometimes the longer guys can't run or change directions like this guy. He runs with good speed ... but let him make a few plays in a real game before anointing him."

Etc.
