Driver has shown that he's much more than just a son of a former NFL star.
from the transfer portal this offseason. As the son of former Green Bay Packers star wide receiver Donald Driver, there was plenty of fanfare when he committed to Minnesota.
He's earned the Gophers' fourth wide receiver role in his first season on campus, and he's been one of new quarterback Max Brosmer's favorite targets, getting five targets through two games. After seeing only two touches against North Carolina in Week 1 — a one-yard reception and a five-yard carry — Driver broke out for two catches for 26 yards and his first career touchdown against Rhode Island in Week 2. Of Driver's 32 snaps, 81.3% came from the slot position while the Gophers' top-three receivers moved between the inside and outside.
