Paul Johnson said this Jacket is 'the epitome of a team player'

Four days a week last year, Adam Gotsis rose before dawn to hit the Georgia Tech weight room, cramming in extra lifting sessions that generated the strength and explosiveness that helped him become a second-round pick in April. It reflects Gotsis’ determination to be his best for the Yellow Jackets and to pave his unlikely route to the NFL.

Gotsis made the drive from his apartment complex every morning with his buddy Michael Muns, a walk-on center. Then a junior, Muns had little shot at playing time at Tech, let alone the NFL. Nevertheless, Muns faithfully showed up, pushing Gotsis and himself to reach their best. Gotsis, now with the Denver Broncos, will be forever grateful.
