Per Randy:
Cristian Driver is a bit superstitious when it comes to pregame preparation. To get his mind in the right place, the Gophers sophomore wide receiver will watch highlights of one of his favorites who play the position.
Jerry Rice? Randy Moss? Justin Jefferson?
Nope, Driver draws inspiration from his father, Donald, who spent his entire 14-year NFL career as a receiver for the Green Bay Packers. Now the younger Driver, a transfer from Penn State, is starting to make his mark on the college program on the west side of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
“It always just gives me some type of boost, just watching him and how he ran his routes and how he played,” Cristian said of the pregame film sessions. “I just try to simulate my game off him.”
