Safety Chris Bracy has had an interesting beginning to the Memphis Tigers football season.
The first-year transfer from UAB earned a starting spot in the season opener but was replaced in the starting lineup after Week 2. Bracy only appeared in 10 defensive snaps in a Week 3 win at Troy, according to PFF.com.
Instead of pointing fingers and complaining, Bracy continued to work on his craft. He stayed after practice, catching balls from the jug machine. He worked on his conditioning and anything else that could help improve his performance on game days.
