Among other Georgia transfers Kirby will need to replace include cornerback Jalen Kimber, who is heading to Florida, wide receiver Justin Robinson, playing for Mississippi State, and defensive back Ameer Speed, who will be playing for Michigan State next season.

The defense will also have to be revamped with DL Jordan Davis, DL Devonte Wyatt, LB Nakobe Dean, DL Travon Walker, S Lewis Cine, LB Channing Tindall, LB Quay Walker and DB Derion Kendrick who are all continuing their journey to the NFL.

Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Terrence Edwards joined the Midday Show on Monday and said the toughest player to replace isn't among the names already mentioned.

"The player that we're going to miss the most is James Cook," Edwards told Andy and Randy. "I really think his talent and skill set was just different. He catches the ball naturally like a wide receiver and then he can go in the backfield and run."

"I think he's the guy that we're going to miss more than probably Jermaine (Burton) or some of the other guys that are leaving because he's definitely a mismatch problem for linebackers or safeties."
