Hurricanes Football @CanesFootball 1m
Golden expects a more physical Duke Johnson, but also a faster Duke. Excited about RB group as a whole with Edwards, Yearby, Johnson, etc.
Hurricanes Football @CanesFootball 1m
Golden says Duke Johnson is fully integrated. Ankle is not an issue heading into camp.
Hurricanes Football @CanesFootball 1m
Golden wants to see Duke pick up where he left off. "He was pressing his runs, hitting where they were designed to hit. Running really well"
Hurricanes Football @CanesFootball 1m
Golden feels Duke was running as strong and as hard ever in his final 3 1/2 games before the injury at FSU
Matt Porter @mattyports 1m
Golden said Trayone Gray might start at RB because of depth issues. Also could play WR, wildcat QB.

BrianTheBeastLondon @MiamiRadioBeast 47s
Golden on Chick "we need a big year out of him"
Matt Porter @mattyports 51s
Golden on Chad Thomas expectations: high. "We don't look at Chad as a freshman. We look at Chad as a defensive end."
