BTW, I cannot say this enough: OBJ has been fantastic this year. He's going to be something special.

I understand your enthusiasm. While his size is something that can't be overcome, he plays like an upperclassman - a polished, talented one at that. This includes such things as maturity and playing relatively error-free (in other words all of the things he can control).

During the Oregon radio broadcast it was mentioned, to OBJ's credit - "Just think, this kid was playing for Newman High last year..."

Healthy dose of perspective, for a player who will celebrate his 19th birthday by playing (and maybe starting) a football game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
