For Fresno State quarterback Chason Virgil the to-do list coming out of a 2016 season that did not go well included shoulder surgery and getting stronger and more physical to better absorb the punishment at his position. Those two things, of course, do not go together.
It’s one, then work on the other. But Virgil said on Monday after the first of the Bulldogs’ 15 spring practices that he did not feel all that far behind physically. He threw the football with some zip – good for him since he’s in a more genuine competition for the starting job now than he ever has been with JC transfer Jorge Reyna, redshirt freshman James Quentin Davis and senior Christian Rossi.
