How good was OBJ in college?


Tremendous

Started as a true freshman on a team that finished 13-0 in the regular season.

He had a touchdown catch and run against Kentucky that showcased his ability in the open field.





He had a catch in the national title game where he is so high above Dre Kirkpatrick, it's crazy.



In his first game as a sophomore, he returned a punt for a TD against North Texas.

That same year, he had a punt return for a TD that won the game against Ole Miss -- eerily similar to that of the great Billy Cannon punt return for a TD.



In 2013, you really started to see him blossom.









But he also had major frickups during the most crucial times of games. And early on with the Giants, he did frick up with the same mental hiccups. But none really since.

THIS is what I like to see. I would have loved to see this Week 3 when I was asking around instead of just my intuition + draft position

Agree there.
The fumble at Florida after the long catch in 2012 doomed us, that and Kevin Minter having to sit a few plays out for cramps.
We win that game and the bama game would have been a 1 vs 2 game. Winner gets ND in the championship.

He also fumbled a punt on our 20 yard line after we finally stopped UGA late in the 3rd quarter after we had just tied the game up. Big shift in momentum.
