The recipient of a bachelor's degree in risk management and insurance from the University of Georgia, Scott Sink provides insurance brokerage and risk management services to electric and gas utility companies through the Birmingham, Alabama-based McGriff, Seibels & Williams, Inc. Scott Sink has been with the Birmingham firm since 1994, and now serves as its senior executive vice president. Beyond his work responsibilities, he enjoys following his alma mater's football team.

The Georgia Bulldogs finished the 2019 season with a win-loss record of 12-2 and defeated Baylor 26-14 in the Sugar Bowl. The individual talent of the team was highlighted at the 2020 NFL Draft, as seven players were selected in the seven-round selection process. This was the second-most players drafted from the Bulldogs in school history - eight Georgia players were drafted in 2002 and 2013.

Offensive tackle Andrew Thomas was the first Georgia player taken in the draft, selected fourth overall by the New York Giants. Isaiah Wilson, who also played offensive tackle at Georgia, was selected 29th overall by the Tennessee Titans. Running back D'Andre Swift was expected to be selected in the first round, but had to wait until early in the second round, at 35th overall, before being picked by the Detroit Lions.

The other Georgia players drafted were offensive guard Solomon Kindley (Miami Dolphins), quarterback Jake Fromm (Buffalo Bills), tight end Charlie Woerner (San Francisco 49ers), and inside linebacker Tae Crowder (Giants), who was the last pick in the draft.
