As part of Monday’s first session of the Big Ten Media Days, The Daily Gopher had the opportunity to speak with and ask a couple questions of each of the three player representatives that accompanied head coach P.J. Fleck to Chicago.
On the initial conversation about switching from linebacker to rush end:
“I was excited about it, because Coach [Robb Smith] walked through with me how my assets and my skills would be used at our rush end position. He broke it down, he said, ‘With your speed, your size, your athleticism, you’ll be able to pass rush — which is huge — and then also be able to drop into coverage and have different plays where you fit into gaps and stuff.
