It was a pleasure watching you play for the last 4 seasons. You were a special player and no doubt the best to ever put on the Panther uniform. From everything I've read, you were an even greater person off the field and represented UNI with class which also deserves praise. Best of luck as you pursue your dreams and I can't wait to see how you perform on the big stage of the NFL.

Re: Thank you David Johnson
Also a huge thank you to Jake Farley, with head coaches always scrutinized in every program I think it is important that we remember to appreciate this young man for who he was as a leader and as a player and try to keep him separate from his dad. We have had an amazing set linebackers at UNI over the years, Jake is truly one of the best ever. I also don't know if I have ever heard the great things about a player as a leader that I have about Jake, particularly while recovering from his broken leg.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

great player indeed.Originally posted by jegbomb52 View Post
Previously, Coach Farley had talked about how Jake was going to petition for medical redshirt year after missing 2011 with one broken leg, and most of 2013 with another. He said that that process couldn't begin until his senior season.
But I'm guessing either the NCAA denied it, or they didn't end up pursuing that route.Comment

Re: Thank you David Johnson
I would've loved to watched DJ take us on a deep playoff run.
But now that the season's over, I'm glad he came out of it healthy and has the chance to show his "A game" in the scouting events he'll participate in...Senior Bowl, Combine, etc. To show his strength, speed, hands, power, etc at 100%.
Want to see this guy playing on Sunday's next year.Winning is more fun than losing.Comment

Any projections on which round he'll get drafted?Comment

Re: Thank you David Johnson
I think he does nothing but move up from here on out. His play on the field is what has him projected where he is, David will shine through this workout, scouting process and move up. I think he's a third round lock.
He is as hard of a worker as there is, he says all the right things, he is smart, intelligent, and will have all the right numbers scouts are looking for, if not higher. I look for his lifting numbers to be tops in the class.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

Re: Thank you David Johnson
The dude is a monster. If there's one thing that has hurt our "prospects" in the past, it's the fact that they are "small" compared to their BCS counterparts. Whether he is a back or a receiver, DJ has great size, strength and skills. The only knock against him is the lack of elite speedComment
