TJD - exceeded my expectations, even given his past performance

If you hear OM message board and content makers, the overwhelming thing I saw was "good riddance", "no big loss", etc. I know being the leading tackler on that team (and in the SEC) last year should speak for itself, but I think this subconsciously tempered my excitement to a degree because I hadn't watched him in isolation. But one thing this coach and staff have proved is how good they are in personnel evals. He looked so good last night running side to side and never appeared out of position.

Also in his player interviews, he seems like he'd be a genuinely good teammate and field/LR presence.
