Wentz led them to a divi- sion title. Nick Foles is taking them to the Super Bowl. Losing Wentz in Week 14 after the second-year quar- terback had an MVP-caliber season was supposed to be a crippling blow to a team that had already lost nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, playmaking linebacker Jordan Hicks, versatile returner/ running back Darren Sproles and special teams ace Chris Maragos.

The workouts are tough, demanding, exhaust- ing, but Jefferson said the Gators know this is the way it has to be if they are going to have the kind of bounce back they expect from last season’s mess. Jefferson said the play- ers are all in with Savage and the new coaching staff. “We’ve been accepting them with open arms,” he said. “Everybody is just attacking it, embracing change. Everybody is just enjoying it. It’s kind of like when you start your first day of school. You don’t know what to expect. Everybody’s still got a little jitters in their stomach. “Slowly but surely, just being around these coaches, it’s just making everybody more comfort- able. Everybody is buying into to what coach Mullen has in place for us and what coach Savage has in place for us. I feel like this team has taken a huge step from last year. I think it’s going to be pretty good.” Jefferson said there’s a feeling among the players that things are going to get turned around quickly with the new staff and the new approach. “Oh, yeah. There’s a huge feeling,” he said. “Everybody is embracing this new coaching staff, what they have in place for us. Everybody is fired up and ready to go. We believe in what they have for us and they believe in us. Pretty excited to see where it goes from here. I definitely think every- body thinks we can have a huge turnaround from last year.” For Jefferson, the coach- ing change likely is leading to a position change — from defensive end in a four-three alignment to outside linebacker in a 3-4 that defensive coor- dinator Todd Grantham is expected to implement. Jefferson played some outside linebacker in a 3-4 at Baker County High School, so the transition should be fairly seamless. B4 Tuesday, January 23, 2018 | DailyCommercial.com COMICS
