When Willie Taggart was hired back in December, he said the Oregon Ducks would need to get bigger, stronger, and faster under his watch.

So throughout the offseason, the Ducks have been working with their new strength coaches to do just that. On Wednesday, the public got a taste of the type of strength gains the Oregon team has been seeing.

Senior running back Royce Freeman posted a video of himself squatting 600 pounds during the team's latest lifting session.





We're coming! Don't believe me just watch! Proud of @rolls_royce21 for making every day and rep count. Capped off summer training with 600! pic.twitter.com/f9tPQIckPr — Joey Carnes (@CoachCarnes45) July 19, 2017





Oregon's season can't come soon enough to see how these gains impact the Ducks on the football field.
