Georgia Bulldogs running back Trevor Etienne is weeks away from knowing his fate in the 2025 NFL Draft.
However, Etienne is convinced that he would not be in this position if it weren't for his brother and Jacksoville Jaguars running back, Travis Etienne, bullying him into the freak athlete he is today.
Etienne spoke on his brother at Georgia's Pro Day, reminiscing about their childhood and how they made everything and anything a competition.
"We would compete with anything, who could do anything faster or better," Etienne said with a big smile on his face. "I remember one day my grandma- we were outside playing catch, me and him, and he kept trying to throw the ball hard, as hard as he can, and I kept catching it. And my grandma was like, 'You know, that's gonna make her better.' It was just funny, because, like, looking back on, like, all those little things he used to do to, like, try to bully me, in a sense, it's really helped. It's paid off.
"So, I mean, I said I just appreciate him being that older brother that, you know, pushed me to be the best. What's the funniest thing that you guys competed over?"
Etienne continued to go into detail about the made up game that the two would play- and still play today.
"We have this game we play, and we'll be in the house, like he'll stand down the hallway," Etienne explained. "We do this pretty often, and it's like you'll count to like 10 or 11, and a head shot is two points and the body shot is one point, and you just throw the ball and you have to be accurate, like you can't move and you have to catch it's just, it's a stupid game we played."
Etienne, who spent his first two college seasons playing for the Florida Gators before transferring to Georgia for one year, rushed for 609 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024. He also hauled in 32 receptions for 194 yards.
Unlike his brother Travis, who went 25th overall to the Jaguars in 2021, Trevor is not a projected first-round pick, though he should still hear his name called in the fifth or sixth round.
