P.J. Fleck's charge to be "elite" also apparently allows for some fun.

The Gophers football team arrived at the Gibson-Nagurski football complex Tuesday morning to a surprise. Instead of the planned workout, the team played whiffle ball.

Gophers football general manager Gerrit Chernoff tweeted photos of the action with the caption "Some ELITE morning surprise whiffle ball! #RTB."

If you look closely, that is Fleck pitching to his players. Wonder if his fastball is as solid as his tackle form?
