How Florida ended up in the strange place of needing help at slot receiver

One of the stories of spring practice so far has been the transition to slot receiver for Fenley Graham. He came into the program as a fast and elusive return guy, though he’s yet to actually field a punt or kick. Now, UF is counting on him to be the sole fast and elusive slot receiver because Florida otherwise doesn’t have one on the roster.

This is a strange place for the Gators to be since dynamic receivers are one of the state’s most distinctive products on the national recruiting stage. Nevertheless, Billy Napier noted this week that the team was “a little short” at receiver and switched Graham’s position as a result.
