Former Florida Gator linebacker Johnny Rutledge, who starred at Florida from 1995-1998, earning ALL-SEC honors in both 1997 and 1998, joined “XL Primetime” on 1010XL Radio in Jacksonville. He was asked about this Gator team, starting with the defense.
“They are playing very well and I’m very proud of those guys,” Rutledge told 1010XL. “Coach (Todd) Grantham really knows how to dial up the blitzes and they have been playing well. So, I’m very proud of them and have been happy to watch them play.”
Rutledge, who was on the Florida 1996 national title team, experienced great success during his time in Gainesville.
