Senior Josh Palmer has appeared in seven games for Tennessee (2-5, 2-5 SEC) this season.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound wide receiver has recorded 22 receptions for 331 yards and four touchdowns. He has totaled 88 receptions, 1,370 yards and seven touchdowns in 44 career games since 2017 at Tennessee.
Ahead of Tennessee’s contest against No. 5 Florida (7-1, 7-1 SEC), Palmer met with media and discussed how he has practiced with the use of a JUGS machine for his development.
Palmer mentioned he has two people, Will and Ben, that help him every day going through drills while using the Jugs machine.
“Will, will play defense and play harder than a normal defensive back could in the game, because the refs would call pass interference,” Palmer said. “That’s an everyday thing I’ve been doing for the past two years with these guys. They’ve helped me a lot in my development.
“I don’t really think it helps with footwork, but it helps with hand-eye coordination by working on the depth of certain routes. Then, I’ll work with the quarterbacks later so we can develop timing.”
