Technology has come a long way in the game of football and West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez believes that it certainly has a place.
The Mountaineers utilize GPS trackers with players that display the speeds that they run as well as the yardage that a player hits during the course of practice.
Essentially, the vests serve as a comprehensive look at player performance and movement while also providing insight into injury prevention and planning.
It’s not anything new to the West Virginia football program, but it is something that Rodriguez certainly sees the benefits of especially in one key area.
