DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

how has he looked besides that play?

Limited action. The carries I have seen, there was 1-3 North players in the backfield to meet him.

He has run a couple of pass routes, but not thrown to by QB from Alabama.

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

At the end he had a good kick return, announcer talked about how he just shoved a kid out of the way, then caught a pass for good yards but he really didnt get that many reps and the announcers even said he hasnt seen the ball allot but still was impressive and really was impressive during the week

The practices were far more important than the game.

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

He scored the only TD for the south on his first touch. The north was fairly dominant on both lines and that pretty much dictated the game. Two kick returns for about 55 yards, one pass to him complete for I think 11. Maybe 11 rushes for 45 yards or so.

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

DJ must have felt like he was back at UNI, getting handed the ball and having multiple defensive linemen standing three yards behind the line of scrimmage waiting for him. Seriously if he was on the North team he could have run for 80 yards on very limited carries. By scoring the first touchdown of the game, on his first carry, on a great run the announcers spent the entire game singing his praises. Personally I don't think the game could have gone better for him. Better to be thought the best player on the South squad and not get to prove it than to try to impress on the inferior team.

Agree.

He made himself part of the story of the day with that TD run in the first quarter.

He made a couple other nifty runs in the 1st half, showing some nifty feet and some good jump cuts. Not big gainers...but getting positive yards with good feet and speed.

Some decent kick returns, a first down on a pass in the flat...which he made look real easy, and some kick coverage.

And most importantly...looks like he came out healthy. Because he's gonna blow that combine up.

But as a UNI fan...my favorite moment was seeing him in the South huddle with helments from 'Bama, Auburn, LSU, OU, Florida State...and UNI. And the UNI guy looked like the best physical specimen in the huddle. That was cool.

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

Outside of seeing DJ play...was also good to see some other FCS guys show well.

The TE from Delaware looked good, the WR from Central Arkansas made some good plays late, and the RB from Yale looked real nice on his TD run up the middle.

The QB from SELA didn't show as well as I was expecting.

But it's good to see the FCS show up. If you can play...you can play.

Someone asked Xavier Williams before the Shrine Bowl if he was nervous playing against the big school guys. He had a great quote..."Nah, once they snap the ball, it's just football. And either you can play or you can't."

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

True, but showed mostly DJ highlights. That stiff arm at the end of the kick return was SWEET.

It was. Took a USC Trojan and tossed him aside with disregard.

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

Then......a slight to Johnson and UNI. Was reading a recap on ESPN CFB and they mentioned his name. Click the link to David Johnson and you get the stats to some DB at Missouri..... SMFH.

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

Same thing for Tre Jackson, it shows a linebacker for GA Tech stats. I think those links are bot created. You type a name the computer has on file and it creates a link, doesn't account for two or more people with same name.
