Healthy from injuries, strong RB takes more prominent role.
Just for the record, Florida A&M senior running back Philip Sylvester tried to count how many times he's been injured during the past three seasons. He recollected three, then paused to be sure there was a fourth time. Staying true to his mild-mannered demeanor, Sylvester chalked up the days he couldn't play as just being part of life as a football player.
"You're always going to have ups and downs over the course of a career," he said, "but the thing is overcoming those obstacles; keep fighting back and don't quit." He hasn't. In fact, running back coach Aaron Taylor said that Sylvester was the one who raised the coaching staff's spirits when they were concerned about how he would perform. He'd always take things in stride.
None of his injuries was as bothersome as a case of turf toe that has affected his performance every season. But all that is behind him and Sylvester only wants to look to the future, which seemed to be promising considering that head coach Joe Taylor has tweaked the offense to give his star running back a more prominent role in the Rattlers' offense.
