Nobody can blame Johnson for leaving.

Gerald is learning the tough lesson that pro teams don't deal with hood rats unless their talent is off the charts, and even then a lot of times they come to regret investing $ and draft picks on those cases.

Honestly feel like Tyron Johnson had no other choice. His talent was wasted with poor scheme AND poor QB play. But the other two can eat a d*ck


If I told you Justin Jefferson caught one more pass than TJ and had 30 more yards than TJ last year would you believe me?

Almost 900 yds and 7 TDs, while not All-American output, is still impressive

Wasn’t that like 4th on his team? It’s all relative. He wasn’t drafted. You act like it’s out of line to say he’s probably not as good as his 5 star recruiting ranking says he was. He played in a perfect offense to put up video game stats and put up numbers that would be pretty average numbers in our offense. Forcinstance, Giles put up much better numbers than that at Texas Tech. It’s like y’all want him to be better than he is because you want to argue he was wasted here

Tyron Johnson

I have no clue who evaluated this dude, I remember watching his film in high school and thinking he was so meh. Probably the weakest 5-star film I’ve ever seen

Surprised about Willis more than any of them. But he's also crazy and a hot head.

if Jazz Ferguson wasn't drafted then hopefully the Saints would give him a shot as an UDFA

Oh, he was probably the 5th best d-lineman in the draft, he’s a freak...but teams saw what burfict put the bengals through and outside of the raiders (shocker) no one wants to deal with that bullshite. Players drop entire rounds because of RUMORS about their character. This dude was suspended for more games than he played in.

How is that “like” three games at OSU, when it was his actual season at OSU? Really dumb post

It’s mainly Savion and Willis who can EAD. The rest I just feel bad for, even Tyron who just tuned out to have peaked in high school.

Other than La'el Collins (for obvious reason at the time), I've never seen any player last as "Mel Kiper's Best Available Player" graphic as long as Willis. It was almost like watching a train wreck - I kept hoping no team would pick him just so that it would keep going. I thought for sure the Raiders would pick him at every pick they had past the fourth round. At some point I thought it was probably some sort of conspiracy or the teams agreed not to pick him up. Then, I thought the Redskins would pick him with the third to last pick in the draft because they just got Landon Collins and figured he might be able to watch over his brother. In the end, I wouldn't doubt if some teams agreed to shut him out of the draft.

Willis being undrafted is the shocker of them all. Hes the most gifted of all of them.

Definitely for off field reasons but still.

And OT Chidi Okeke


I was sure that move to Eastern Kentucky was going to pay off.



1) Chidi actually ended up at Tennessee State. around the time he left, TSU had 4 OL drafted over 2-3 drafts. not 4 overall players, 4 OL. so it wasn't necessarily a bad school to go to. I didn't realize he left a year early, that's a bit of a head scratcher.

2) I was always of the impression that he got processed
