LOOK: Alabama LB Mack Wilson has perfect response to viral image of Georgia RB Elijah Holyfield
Published:
If you missed the image of Elijah Holyfield practicing for Georgia this spring that’s currently trending on Twitter, the rising junior running back looks pretty intimidating. Unfortunately, as with many images that make the rounds of the Internet, the picture has been photoshopped to make his arms look even bigger than they really are.
The image has clearly fooled enough people to go viral, it has nearly 2,000 retweets as of this posting, but despite how daunting it may seem to challenge Holyfield on the gridiron based on the photo, there is one notable player that believes he is up to the task.
For reference, here’s the picture of Holyfield that went viral:

One player not impressed is Alabama rising junior linebacker, Mack Wilson. Check out what Wilson tweeted once he saw the photoshopped image of Holyfield which was posted with the question, “Anyone want to do goaline 1 on 1’s with him?”:

Wilson’s words are more than just talk, too. In his only career appearance against Georgia — in the National Championship Game, of course — Wilson registered a career-high 12 tackles, which also set the standard for individual tackles by any member of the Crimson Tide defense in 2017.
If Georgia and Alabama meet in Atlanta next season, it appears there’s at least one player already dreaming up the collisions that are sure to come in the next SEC Championship Game.
