Check out Zach's Twitter feed. He has some great vines of today's practice.

Harris hits Callaway running with the ones for a touchdown on the fade. Harris got all the reps with ones.

Powell and Thompson both flashing very good speed. Offense seems to be running much quicker in general than it was before.

Interesting - just saving Grier for the closed portion I guess since he was working with the 3s mostly. Is Grier 100% being given the starting job or does he not want Grier practicing with the ones on tape today - or maybe he just wants to see Harris with the ones a little more..

This is a good thing too:

Dorsey and Worton both practicing full go

Del Rio?
Seems like he did well from the posts.

"Pittman shakes a walk on and Del Rio hits him for a touchdown"

Funny. As. Hell.

Receivers are made in the off season with the QBs and the JUGGS machine, not in fall practice. Apparently ours didn't get the memo.

How many wide open drops will we have this year?:doh:

This is what I don't get, why aren't these guys working on the machines 2 - 3 extra hours a day on their own. If they have to be told to do it, they need to be riding the pine.

Well, maybe that's why we're trying out a QB at WR lately?

Yeah, I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the meeting that preceded that decision. Probably enough F-bombs to make Sarkisian a little uncomfortable. We seriously have like 6 true scholarship WRs, plus Andrades, and we're having to resort to a QB transfer.

I guess the saving grace is he was at VU, so he's probably fairly bright. Who knows, may end up being a genius move by Mac.

It definitely speaks volumes of JMac's impression of the WRs we have on roster. Especially since we really aren't in all that great of shape at QB either unless Grier and Harris are doing much better than they're letting on to the media.

Did Del Rio hand the ball off to Pittman? Because there is no way Pittman caught a pass.
I just assumed It was some type of relay race.

From this article: https://www.gatorzone.com/story.php?id=31113

" EXTRA RECEIVER
Graduate transfer Josh Grady arrived at Florida over the summer after playing receiver and quarterback at Vanderbilt.
Grady has taken snaps at quarterback but most of his reps of late have been at receiver.
“We are trying to find some guys that are consistently going to make some catches,’’ McElwain said. “He’s a guy that has played that.’’
The Gators are also giving redshirt sophomore Alvin Bailey an opportunity to make an impact in the rotation. Bailey played in six games last season but did not have a catch.
“We’re asking Alvin to really step up. He’s a guy that’s gotta make some plays for us,’’ McElwain said. “He’s got to be able to spell Brandon [Powell] in the slot and still be able to play some Z. We’re looking for him to show up and be consistent in everything he’s doing. We’re asking a lot of those wideouts.”"
