Senior Bowl: Gators CB Duke Dawson impresses after bout with strep throat

Duke Dawson was a little lethargic to start the day during Wednesday’s practice session at the Senior Bowl. It was understandable since the UF cornerback missed the first day of workouts while recovering from a bout with strep throat.

“I was really disappointed. I was down on myself a little bit, but once everything settled down I got back to [being] myself,” he said. “I just came out here and tried to knock the rust off. It was kind of rusty for me. All these other guys had a day ahead of me so I was trying to stay on pace and catch up with those guys.
