Leidner says Gophers have a lot more weapons in passing game than last year. Wolitarsky and Jones had big summers.

Leidner happy to have TE Maxx Williams back and healthy. Calls him matchup nightmare

Leinder says he's done endless film work and a lot of hip work in weight room to help throwing motion

Leidner says sometimes his arm is so big that he loses accuracy. Thinks hip work will help with that.

Gophers' @MitchLeidner7 spent a lot of time this summer throwing and watching film with Ryan Mallett.

Leidner also got to throw to NFL receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Dwayne Bowe, who were training in Minneapolis

A few interesting tidbits on Moose's hip work this summer to help accuracy.  He likes throwing to MaXXX...who wouldn't.  More praise for Wolitarsky and Jones... hopefully we see it on the field in a month.  Also throwing with Mallett and to Fitz and Bowe can't hurt either.

We will have additional Big Ten Media Days posts through out the day, so keep checking back.
