What is the deal with this guy. Injuries or just has not lived up to his potential or just to much talent in front of him?

Getting his body ready for a new position. He will still get some pass rush opportunities here and there, but he's a guy that just needs a little more time.

I can understand that but he is already a senior, not much time left for him

he's a RS sr. been here forever now.

sounds like a good team guy. Dworacyk mentioned him as somebody who put in extra time after practice to help him adjust to moving to LT midway thru 2012.

This always confuses me... how do some guys not adjust to the game after being a stud in HS?

I know some people just "have it" but it still baffles me why some people don't even earn enough respect in practice to get playing time, especially after showing commitment to a program for 5 years. Are they just completely clueless when out there? I don't get it.

Ehhh.. but come on.

Even people like Chancey Aghayere, the guy didn't see much of significant playing time after being a freak of a recruit. I understand how it happens, the game is hard. It just seems like so many of these players just disappear when they arrive to college.

Kenny Hilliard could do no wrong as a freshman, and now he is our #3 back behind a former WR and a true freshman. Just strange how each year reveals new stars and others are forgotten.

Solid squad player. Puts the time in on the practice field knowing that he won't get barely any playing time.

Magee was a WR for like 3 games. He came in as a RB.

During his recruitment there were a couple of people who had watched him play and said he didn't really stand out on the field.

Stop berating the players Babboon. So much talent somebody gets passed up.

I had class with Justin. Good guy and a hard worker. I know he had battled injuries early on. I think now its not really that he hasnt done enough to earn playing time, but other guys have done more to move in front of him. He will get in some this season, and he deserves that, but I just think other guys have moved in front of him.

Well he would start for a lot of fbs schools, to be fair. LSU recruits at a high level. All of them were hs studs. Only some of them can rise over the others.

He will play some andhe will play on special teams. Not a failure.
