re: Good article on the new offseason workouts

Former LSU tight Coin Jeter is watching this all happen, seated with his back against the wall of the indoor facility. Jeter is training at LSU in preparation for the NFL draft.

He watches the boot camp-style workouts and smiles. He never got a chance to do them.

“I wish I could have,” he says. “Looks fun, competitive.”

Therein lies the reason for the change, Moffitt said.

“Before, it was monotonous,” he said. “There was no change. We’d go three or four days a week with zero change and just crush the guys. This year, there’s more variety. Because there’s more variety, there’s more enthusiasm. It’s just different. There’s been more energy. They look forward to it more. It’s not the same ole thing every day.”

Guice, one of the favorites for the 2017 Heisman Trophy, is the head coach for the Bayou Bengals team, one of the six squads.

Each of the teams has a general manager, head coach and about 12-15 team members.

Quarterback Danny Etling, for instance, is the general manager of the Midwestern Cowboys. He picked tight end Foster Moreau as his head coach.

Moreau and Etling, like the five other GMs and head coaches, selected their team during an NFL draft-like selection process in mid-January in LSU’s primary team meeting room. Moffitt served as commissioner of the draft, decked in a suit and tie while standing behind a lectern belting out each team’s choice.

“With the first pick of the draft, the Midwestern Cowboys select … receiver D.J. Chark!”

Chark was indeed the first pick, and he walked up to the lectern to pose for fake photos with the commissioner and others.

“We did it big,” said Eric Donoval, one of Moffitt’s full-time assistants who help run the Fourth Quarter Program and its new additions. “They really got into the draft.”
