Per Marcus:
Knowing standout tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford would miss the Gophers spring game this April, coach P.J. Fleck had the perfect role for him: chaperone.
Fleck wanted Spann-Ford to escort former Gophers All-America Matt Spaeth for the day, letting him soak up knowledge from one of the program's all-time greats.
Spaeth, winner of the 2006 John Mackey Award given to the nation's top tight end, echoes analysts and pro scouts with his high praise for Spann-Ford.
The 6-7, 270-pound St. Cloud native, who returned to college for a fifth year, could break Spaeth's career Gophers records and be selected in the NFL draft after this year.
"I got to spend a lot of time with Brevyn," said Spaeth, who played for the Gophers from 2003-06. "I think he's an awesome guy. And I hope he does break my records."
