Running Backs Coach DJ Mangas
“We have a hard-working group that has great attitudes. We are striving to improve in all areas of the game this spring to ensure we make positive impacts every snap – whether it's running the ball, blocking, pass protecting or making plays down field. We had a productive year last fall, and I have high expectations that we will continue to build on that success as we work toward the 2015 season.”
