PISCATAWAY — One of the many new posters in the Rutgers football team meeting room features the words "10 Strong" over a group of players.
The 10 strong slogan first appeared earlier this winter as a Twitter hashtag used by Rutgers coaches. As I explained in a mailbag last month, 10 strong refers to the 10 position groups on the team: Quarterback, running back, tight end, wide receiver, offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, cornerback, safety and specialist.
Coach Chris Ash was asked about the poster following the team's first spring practice on Thursday and he provided an explanation.
