Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver A.J. Green is set to enter the upcoming NFL draft sources have told Channel 2 Action News Sports Director  Zach Klein.

Klein said two sources close to the program have told him “There is a 100 percent chance he is gone, and a possible (NFL) lockout has no bearing on his decision.”

Green led the team in yards and touchdowns despite being suspended for four games by the NCAA for selling last year’s bowl jersey. During his junior season, Green caught 49 passes for 771 yards and nine touchdowns.

According to ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr., Green is the third best prospect in the country. ESPN’s Todd McShay has Green as a top five selection.

Georgia plays  Dec. 31 in Memphis in the Liberty Bowl against the University of Central Florida.
