VIDEO: Steve Spurrier Jr. Gives Wide Receiver Update/Practice Recap

Today after practice Steve Spurrier Jr gave an update on how the receiving core is doing and how hard they are working.

Spurrier Jr says that Pharoh Cooper has a sprained hand but he’s fine now, a little limited, but works hard and is trying to become a better player than he was last year. He also says that the recievers are young and that many have never taken a snap but they are doing well and they should have three or five guys ready to go for the season. Also mentions that they aren’t going to be a team to run four recievers, but two or three preferably.

Here is the video from today’s practice:
