The unanimous 2014 All-Big Ten first teamer needs no introduction when it comes to Minnesota and Big Ten fans, and that was evident during his Twitter Q&A on Wednesday afternoon.

Mortell took over the @GopherFootball account for an hour, answering fans' – and a former teammate's – questions with plenty of humor and wit.

@GopherFootball @PMortell37 do you shave your legs to reduce friction and increase leg speed?

That's been the secret of @MinnSpecialists. Not sure why the longsnappers do it too, though. -PM https://t.co/9ZGShjSFKR

@GopherFootball @PMortell37 How does it feel to be the best holder in the Big Ten?

— Nate Cahoy (@NateCahoy) May 13, 2015

It's been something I've worked my whole life for. Nothing compares to holding balls in front of 55k people. -PM https://t.co/2fcOgBSnvV

@GopherFootball @PMortell37 if you weren't a punter, what other position would you want to play?

@GopherFootball @PMortell37 Which #Gophers offensive lineman would make the best punter?

— Very Tall Zubaz Mask (@GoAUpher) May 13, 2015

Jon Christenson had a metal rod in his leg. Some might call that cheating, I call it strategy. -PM https://t.co/x0bMM9K743

Entertaining stuff. Mortell enjoyed it, too.
