JR's draft stock was plummeting during the course of his last year here.

Teams were dropping everyone in coverage, and not rushing him, requiring him to be deadly accurate. This worked between the 25's, but couldn't get it done in the red zone.

Plenty of open space b/w JR beyond the LOS, but he refused to run.

We were playing Tennessee over there when he decided he would use his legs. Look it up. As soon as he showed the ability to run, it completely changed our offense, opened up passing lanes, etc.

Ironically, his legs are the reason he got drafted No. 1 overall.

I remember, and was thinking at the time, JR is trying to improve his draft stock. I always wondered, earlier in the season, why he didn't run more. He could have been awesome with his big body.
