When we watch college football through the lens of a camera placed high above the field, we don't appreciate the speed. Sure, receivers and edge rushers look fast, but that vantage point can't show exactly how quickly the action moves. That blitzing linebacker is flying. That quarterback has less time than it takes to read this sentence to cycle through his progressions, choose a receiver and make the throw before he gets splattered.
Watching through the eyes—or the chests—of the players offers a far more accurate window. Last month, SI mounted GoPro cameras on several Florida football players during two practices.
