Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree had second-team All-SEC honors in 2012.

Former Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree admitted that he didn’t live up to his personal expectations during his college career.

"Somewhat. I feel like I could have done things a little differently," the current New York Giants linebacker told the New York Post. "It was mainly my fault. I felt like that's why I didn't have the career I wanted to have.

“I made some mistakes during college. I definitely saw myself doing bigger things in college than what I did. You live and you learn. I didn’t have a bad experience in college.”

The Los Angeles Rams traded the 2013 first-round draft pick to the Giants in March for two draft picks.

Ogletree had a series of off-field incidents during his college career, including a DUI charge leading up to the 2013 NFL Draft, a four-game suspension in 2012 for testing positive for marijuana and a misdemeanor that stemmed from stealing a $35 bike helmet in 2010.

The 2009 AJC Super 11 selection out of Newnan still managed to have a decorated career at Georgia, which included a second-team All-SEC honor in 2012.
