University of Florida running back coach Stan Drayton left the Gators to coach for their rival the Tennessee Volunteers. Normally, you couldn’t think a running back coach leaving would have an effect on a wide receiver, but in the spread offense we all know Harvin gets plenty of carries out of the back field. So do you think Drayton’s departure will help or hurt Percy Harvin?

I think it will actually help him. Drayton really has done nothing when it comes to developing running backs. I’m sure Percy spent a lot of time with him at practice going over effective ways to run through the line and possibly pick up blocks.

But from a pure running back standpoint, the Gators have been lacking there for years. Graham was a solid runner, but since him they have been very thin at that position. I hope bringing in a new running back coach helps the Gators build a better running game. This will help Harvin when he is lining up as a receiver and when he’s back as a runner.
