The Florida Gators staff is in the process of rebuilding the depth along their offensive line; one of the ways to accomplish this is by cross training players at multiple positions.
“We’ve moved different people to a spot…we always train these guys, we always say position flexibility brings value,” offensive line coach Darnell Stapleton said. “So if we teach you more than one thing, if something happens down the line and somebody happens to go down, it’s next man up mentality so, you can’t live by that if you don’t practice that in the spring.”
Stapleton says it takes more than just the coaches selling the players this philosophy.
