per Chip:
I still shake my head when I watch practice at the night-and-day difference in talent and speed in the secondary from a few years ago.
The Gophers could have three defensive backs selected in the NFL Draft next spring, a crazy thought given what we’ve witnessed from Gophers pass defenses in the past.
Their starting group of Murray, Boddy-Calhoun, Travis and Johnson ranks among the best in the Big Ten, if not nationally.
They also have some depth behind them.
Jerry Kill’s staff has done a good job of recruiting to that position and developing players once they join the program. They have a specific idea of what they want in a defensive back. Eric Murray is a perfect example.
Jay Sawvel is a terrific defensive backs coach who likely will get his shot as a defensive coordinator somewhere before long. He’s ready for it.
