Everything Sedrick Van Pran Said in His Q&A Session at SEC Media Days

Q. Amarius Mims is a guy that thought about leaving and pretty sure he's pretty glad he didn't leave. Where does he fit in on the O-line and what excites you about his role this year?

You know, you may be a hundred degrees and running guys are ready to get after it, and he says something funny to kind of calm guys down. He's that kind

KAMARI LASSITER: JB, that's a guy that he comes to work in day-in, day-out. He's the same guy every day, a hard worker, first-guy-in, last-guy-out type of guy, and he attacks everything wit
