#GatorGreatSeries Review: Running Backs
Friday, June 29, 2018 | Football
Prior to fall camp getting underway in August, take a look back at the rich tradition that is Florida football.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gator Standard. Relentless Effort.
Those two phrases have become synonymous with Florida football since Dan Mullen came home to Gainesville on Nov. 26, 2017. Embedded within those words is the tradition and foundation for success that has created the brand for this special program.
Before the next chapter of Gator football is written this fall, let's take a look back at the rich tradition that has been built in Gainesville position-by-position.
Week 1: Quarterbacks
Week 2: Defensive Line
Week 3: Kick Returners
Week 4: Tight Ends
Week 5: Running Backs
Each of those men listed above, Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey, Earnest Graham, Neal Anderson, Jimmy DuBose, Rick Casares and others not mentioned, had excellent careers and memorable moments during their time at the University of Florida.
However, for the brevity of this article we're going to focus on three individuals.

Rhett:
Taylor:
As you can see above, each of them had a laundry list of accolades throughout their playing careers.
But it's never about the awards and individual honors. It's about the comradery, brotherhood built with their teammates and the memories that were last a lifetime.
Check out some highlights of these three Gator Greats.
