Minnesota Football: Coney Durr is in the business of breaking up passes

Coney Durr committed to play for Jerry Kill, signed a letter of intent to play for Tracy Claeys, and will end his career at Minnesota playing for P.J. Fleck. The fifth-year senior has had a roller coaster tenure with the Gophers but he seems well suited to the “Row the Boat” culture, having started 21 games over the last two years after missing much of the 2016 season while he recovered from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and torn meniscus suffered in the 2016 Holiday Bowl.

Last year, Durr had his best season yet. By the end of October, he led all FBS cornerbacks with a 40% forced incompletion rate, according to Pro Football Focus.
