Switzer: Getting Back To Football ‘Hard’ After Drake’s Passing, But WR Room ‘Trying To Stay Together’

Ryan Switzer has only played two NFL seasons. He has worked with three different wide receivers coaches on three different teams—not including Ray Sherman. Darryl Drake appears to have been the only one to really give him a chance. And in the wake of his passing, the third-year wide receiver is finding it hard to get back on the field without hearing his voice.

It’s hard to get back to the game you love because he is not out there telling you what to do”, he told reporters earlier today via a video posted on the team’s website, the first of the wide receiver group to speak to the media since Drake passed away suddenly Sunday morning.
