Something pops up over and over with the 2021 team, and it could prove to be a difference-maker:
A very high standard of work.

The video clip is Oregon nickleback Jamal Hill in his summer workouts with Grind Sports Training. Last year, you'll remember Hill capped off an impressive sophomore season with two interceptions in the PAC-12 Championship Game.
Hill earned the Defensive MVP award for his efforts. In all over the 7-game campaign the sophomore had 20 tackles and four pass breakups in his first season as a starter.
The standard of work at Oregon is very consistent across position groups and classes. It's an attitude of excellence and maximizing your potential, an exceptionally driven group.
Players like these push each other in practice.

At PAC-12 Media Day head coach Mario Cristobal said in his opening remarks:
Well, I think the most important thing in the off-season is to find out what your team is all about in the form of presenting them with challenges, with adversity, finding ways to groom leadership. After being apart from each other for an entire season, the brotherhood of our football team, the chemistry, the dynamic that has made us strong over the years has been investing time in each other, spending time with each other, investing time with each other, getting to know each other, working hard, then gaining respect for each other as people, as competitors and teammates has gone a long way.
We feel there's a very strong sense of urgency, detail and intensity in our players. They're ready to compete. They're ready for a very competitive, physical and intense camp.
It's beginning to feel like this is a team that will just bust out of the gate with enormous energy and a championship mindset. The internal leadership in the group is extraordinary.
