UGA QB Murray carving out leadership role

Quarterback Aaron Murray has been working his way toward grabbing a leadership role as he heads into his first season as a starter.
While he knows it won't happen overnight, Murray says he knows it has to happen at some point.
"I've got to find my way of being a leader on this team, my way to motivate people and figure out ways to push them and make them do stuff they never knew they could do," Murray told the Macon Telegraph. "That's not going to come in a week or two. It's going to take some time to better understand the guys and what they can do and motivate them and hopefully by this summer hopefully I'll make some strides in that category."
His teammates seem impressed with the steps he's taken this offseason.
"He's stepping up to the challenge tremendously," offensive lineman Josh Davis said. "He's putting in extra work. He's trying his best to lead because the quarterback is a leadership position. He's working his butt off to get it done every day."
