Billy Napier on his 2022 Florida Gators
During his opening statement on the main stage, Napier relished his first SEC Media Days experience and assessed his team heading into fall training camp.
“SEC Media Days is a special day. It means football is right around the corner,” Napier said. “This 2022 team that we have is a new team, it’s a new year, a new set of challenges and opportunities. There’s lots of roles to be determined on our team. We’ve got a core group of veteran players. We have a big portion of our team we think has ability, but it’s inexperienced and needs to develop. Then we’ve brought in some young talent, high school, JUCO and transfer players. About 34 new players overall.
“I like this group. I think they’ve got a chip on their shoulder. They’re excited about the opportunity to earn some respect. Reality is in college football, 25 to 30 percent every year you’re going to have attrition. You’re always a work in progress, whether it’s year one or it’s year 10. I’ve been very pleased with the offseason, each phase. It’s the first time we’ve done it at a new place with a new group of people. We’re learning together.”
