I expect LJ to kick ass next year. I'm hoping he will do that kicking on behalf of the Texas Longhorns but that hope does not affect my expectations for his performance.
January 7, 20196 yr Randy Moss just put a pair of LJ catches at #2 on his top 5 "you got Mossed" on the year. Tech game winner and the bomb against WVU. Put it in the trophy case.

January 8, 20196 yr thanks for a great career at the 40 and best of luck Edited January 8, 20196 yr by Dennis Taylor
January 8, 20196 yr 5 minutes ago, TexasFan21 said: I had the feeling that we would get 1 of the 2 back between him and CJ. CJ’s about to have to work a lot harder to improve his draft stock as defenses can focus on him until someone else proves worthy of their attention as a WR.
January 8, 20196 yr I know he didn’t get the top 2 round grade but I bet he goes 2nd round. he just has too much NFL potential. aside from the fact that he has elite body control, ball skills, and a true understanding of the nuances of the game (which is rare), he’s also 6’4” 225. he really was the best football player on the field whenever he played. he translates to the NFL very well and I think after more scouts evaluate his game tapes his stock will rise. hook em LJ
January 8, 20196 yr The best player on our team rides off into the sunset. Loved having you on the team LJH! Good luck! I hope we can find some physical WRs who can replace him. That was just brutal how he would truck people....and then the entire team would appear pushing him forward for another five yards.

He has outside receiver height but not outside receiver speed. He has power and damn good hands but not the quick feet NFL wants at slot receiver. A lot like Poona he'll be 6th/7th/undrafted because he doesn't fit the mold but he'll be starting and producing before long with the team that takes him. Edited January 8, 20196 yr by Junior Miller
January 8, 20196 yr Good luck at the next level. He probably “made a mistake” by leaving early. Hope he runs a good 40. I might actually watch a game on Sunday to see if he can run someone over.
January 8, 20196 yr He has everything needed to be an elite NFL receiver. He did not get a chance to show it consistently this season because the Texas offense was still figuring out where all the pieces would fit. If he'd stayed another year, he'd be near the top of the receiver boards. A lot goes into being a collegiate athlete. It's another year of books, classes, conditioning, etc. plus another season playing "for free". I don't know what his overall situation is. I wish the NFL would let kids wait until the beginning of March to declare. The exhaustion right after the season finishes is too easy to simply want to earn a paycheck for that work. LJH put the Longhorns on his back and moved the whole program up a couple of notches. We'll always be grateful, and wish him the best of luck.

January 8, 20196 yr Thank you for going all in for UT. Obviously that is how you approach all of life. Whoever is smart and lucky enough to draft you will bring a player for the ages to their team.
January 8, 20196 yr 4th or 5th round. He wasn’t going to suddenly become fast or quick enough to be a 1st or 2nd round pick, so he is probably making a good decision. Only guys who should come back are guys who either a.) might not be drafted at all or b.) have injuries, off the field issues, or untapped athleticism that they can improve to significantly improve their stock.

January 8, 20196 yr He is tough , scrappy, and has great hands . NFL is evolving, usual formulas may not apply fully. New young coaches will also see the potential. Thank you LJH! Edited January 8, 20196 yr by El Squared
January 8, 20196 yr Before the season began, I thought we would really miss Reggie Hemphill-Mapps at some point. That never really happened. Maybe in the return game, but maybe not.
January 8, 20196 yr He seems like a guy that would excel in a place like NE - they are great at getting a ton of production out of guys that don't necessarily fit in traditional roles. Seems like more and more teams are starting to catch up in that regard too.

January 8, 20196 yr Disappointing to hear but, damn, what a baller. Wish him nothing but the best. Hook 'em, LJ!
January 8, 20196 yr I’ll always respect and appreciate what he did the The University of Texas! Hook ‘em LJH [emoji1598][emoji1598]Sad to see him go, one of my all time favorites

January 9, 20196 yr He had maybe his best game against Tech...Kingsbury will have at least some say in who the Cardinals draft, I would not be surprised to see them reach a little for him. A year to learn under Larry Fitzgerald (if he returns) would be an amazing gift to any young WR.
February 28, 20196 yr 9 minutes ago, SA-KC_Horn said: LJ cut down to 210lbs for the 40? I assumed he played in the 220s. Yeah a good 40 time at the Combine will really help LJH since many NFL Scouts rate him lower due to the perception he's slower than other WRs. When I watch LJH, he seems to play faster when the balls in the air..... I've seen some compare him to a player like Anquan Boldin who had a pretty good NFL career.....
March 1, 20196 yr Not to mention these measurements are without shoes on. He's essentially a 6'5" WR on the field.
March 1, 20196 yr 6 minutes ago, Machinator said: That is surprisingly low. They way he trucks dudes I figured 20+.
March 1, 20196 yr Yeah that's a little disappointing. Julio Jones was 6'3 220 and got 18 reps. Hakeem Butler got 18.
March 1, 20196 yr LJH has about a 20' wingspan. Also, has the NFL put that team max for an extra point thing into play?
March 1, 20196 yr 8 minutes ago, NoRagrets said: That is surprisingly low. They way he trucks dudes I figured 20+. That comes from leg strength
March 1, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, NoRagrets said: That is surprisingly low. They way he trucks dudes I figured 20+. It wouldn't be terribly surprising if his bench numbers have dropped due to him cutting weight.
March 2, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, Neonmoon said: Would be pretty impressive if he runs a 4.5 i thought he was more of a 4.6 guy If he pulls off a sub 4.6, I'll be impressed. Hopefully he gets drafted higher than I think he will for himself and for our future recruiting purposes.
