Billy Napier Update on Montrell Johnson Jr., Training Camp | Florida Gators Football

Montreal's doing great first of all was very minor um you know once they got in there the scope and um he's weak the weak right he's already on his feet um he's made significant progress so it will be one week at a time you know we're going to go at his Pace but we do anticipate it being a very minor issue when we get him back it's to be determined but um I think he's in a good place relative to maybe other situations like that that have been out there in the past you guys in that position are in pretty good shape a lot of depth quality depth yeah we got we've got four good players um Tron being the one player who's had some significant time you know he's played quite a bit last year um at times and then the other three are inexperienced but have ability um and it and it's it's almost a blessing and disguised to some degree that they're getting you know meaningful reps you know their workload uh and look playing running back is not just running with the ball right I mean I think there's a key protection element to that um that's extremely important right so we put an emphasis on that and then your ability to do your job you know not only rushing the ball catching the ball route running ball security um and in our system the running back is a critical piece of the puzzle so all those guys were here in January um the two rookies I would say and then jacobe and trayon have been with this for a year so uh it's a it's a great opportunity for those guys and let me tell you they're they are embracing it they're working extremely hard yeah I mean literally there are some positions on our team where it is daily adjusted who's in the front of the line who's getting the reps with the first team I mean we're talking and um there's probably only a handful of positions where there's an established starter on our team right so that's producing you know it's it's uh there's some intensity there's some urgency and they know right um You just look at that edge group for example okay the number of players that we think are capable of impacting our team in that room that room right now it's extremely competitive reality is they're competing right I mean they're they're in scenarios where they're competing so both those guys are two of our guys that provide a good example they have character um and we need more of them you know I think ultimately that room right now if you look at it it's probably the most competitive group on our team and those young players are a factor so they're doing a good job in that regard
