per ESPN:
Leidner also listened intently as New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton described how Drew Brees handles himself and what it takes to be an NFL quarterback. Leidner was so excited about the experience that he called a team meeting the day he got back (July 12) and relayed the lessons he learned to his teammates.
"He gave us some pointers and things that freshmen needed to work on," Gophers defensive end Theiren Cockran said. "It was more specific to quarterbacks, but also went for everybody."
Leidner said he has incorporated the drills he worked on in Louisiana at the camp into his daily summer routine -- "I can't rep them enough." And he has a new mentor who has walked in his shoes. Former Gophers star quarterback Adam Weber joined the coaching staff this spring as a graduate assistant.
"We're doing some things so that I have better preparation in game weeks," Leidner said. "Having Adam there as a GA, we're going to get a better plan together so I know exactly what's going to happen on the field. And if not, I'll know how to react and adapt to what I'm seeing."
