Jim McElwain calls the next three months the most important time of the year for the Florida football team.

During the long, hot days of summer that lie ahead, the Gators will be largely on their own in terms of organizing players’ only practices, getting in the film room, bonding with each other and making sure they get themselves mentally and physically ready for the start of camp in August.

How the players carry themselves this summer will go a long way in determining what kind of results they get on the field in the fall.
