Photo Gallery: Spring football practice number 1: Florida Gators

The Florida Gators started spring practice on Saturday afternoon as year two under Billy Napier is underway.

Napier and the rest of the coaching staff are looking to build off of last year’s record but they will have to do so with a new quarterback.

Transfer quarterback Graham Mertz took his first snaps as a Gator on Saturday and GatorCountry was live at practice to bring you a photo gallery from practice.
