I do have to add though, I think the coaches worked their hardest to find ways to help him be successful on the field, contrary to some opinion.


I remember watching a "day in the life video clip" featuring Shep his freshman year. He commented on some random guy suggesting to him that he would make a great DB and he just laughed it off.

I do wonder though, with 20/20 hindsight of course, if moving to corner would have been a more productive move. He's obviously athletic and also somewhat rangy...I could see him being successful in coverage and he's made a couple of life-saving special teams tackles as well.

He wouldn't have needed the elite hands and tackle breaking ability that he lacks. If he makes the switch to DB instead of whatever skill position they were trying to create for him, I believe he would be draft-able right now.

But, too late for that. I'll just assume that he never had interest in playing on the other side and wish him the best of luck, as I will all of our seniors!

That's a really good point too. Could definitely see him having success there, but you're right, he may just be one of those guys who never even allowed himself to consider switching sides.


As for the OP, I agree with a lot of others, PJ and Lavar have been very very solid players. I'll miss them both a lot.
