Why is that horrible? There are tons of players every year that don't play a day past college. Players that had better and more productive college careers.

And there is nothing wrong with the way he was handled. Sometimes players just don't get better when they step up in competition.

So he's not a good passer. It would have made more sense to let him run the option instead of JJ. At least he is elusive and runs a hell of a lot better.

Still can't figure why LSU couldn't come up with ways to get him the ball...

LSU did find ways to get him the ball. He just rarely did anything with it.

I posted this on the back end of the previous RS10 thread. I hadn't looked at his high school videos in years and was surprised to see how well he passed and ran UP THE MIDDLE. I'd like to see him get a few more opportunities from the backfield before the end of his career as an LSU Tiger.

And let him THROW IT JUST ONCE.

No he does not need to throw.....there is a reason he hasn't

I honestly dont know if he would get drafted anyways. He will get an awesome job anyways. Hes been a model citizen as an lsu tiger. Best of luck

Here is a link to his career stats. If you don't feel like clicking it, he's averaged 7.3 ypc and and 10.8 yards per catch in his career. Granted, he's got problems at the receiver position, but it's a damn shame Les couldn't get him 6-8 touches a game. For all of our offensive struggles this year, he's touched the ball 25 times, not counting his dropped passes.

And the sad thing was he was recruited by alot of the best schools. Evidently everyone else thought he had potential. He probably wonders, what if I went to so and so school. LINK
