Ah, it’s that time of the year again. It’s POSITION CHANGE SEASON, BABY! This is the time in the football calendar when football teams talk about changes that might or might not matter by the start of the regular season.
We’re all too familiar with these storylines by now. A safety cross-training at cornerback. An offensive lineman taking reps at both guard and tackle. A wide receiver working inside and out. Sometimes it matters. A lot of the time, frankly, it doesn’t stick.
That’s the backdrop to the bit of news we received during the first week of Missouri’s spring football practices as Darius Robinson announced he would be spending a decent amount of his time this spring at defensive end.
