McElwain notes: McGee leading Gators offense

Leadership on an inexperienced offense can be tough to find.

That’s what made the return of tight end Jake McGee even more important than just his production on the field. Florida coach Jim McElwain and offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier have both talked about the importance of a tight end in the offense they’d like to run. McGee makes that possible from day one.

He also provides leadership that might be hard to find if he wasn’t around. The skill positions on the Florida roster have plenty of youth, and the offense respects McGee.
