Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman is devoted to Georgia, where he played his college football. That’s why he’s not particularly pleased to see another Georgia wide receiver leave the school for a huge rival.
Wide receiver Jermaine Burton announced Sunday that he would transfer from Georgia to Alabama. That didn’t sit well with Hardman, who took to Instagram to question how a Georgia player could transfer to a rival team the Bulldogs just beat for a national title.

One can understand why Hardman would be confused. Jumping from a championship team to the rival it just beat will not look good in the eyes of Georgia fans. Burton is entitled to go where he wants and seek out opportunities for himself, but this move will attract criticism more than most would.
Hardman is annoyed, but Burton is going to have some weird issues to deal with. How is he going to handle this Alabama fan, for instance?
