He's improved a bunch in a short period of time. It was just East Carolina, but he's put in a lot of offseason work and he threw some nice NFL passes in this last game. Big time arm and mobility. Superb athlete. Continues to get stronger and bigger on a 6'3"+ frame. I think his stock is going to rise and he'd be selected in a spot Minnesota could actually take without comp or moving up. 

IMO, this upcoming Spring crop of college QBs is going to be the best in recent memory. Good time to take a QB.

Looks like unregistered was big on JJ too.  :D

I see a reply from MB. Other than that, not seeing many early adopters…


There wasn't.....and I get why. There were some false narratives about him. He started to catch fire a bit at the Combine. Came in at 219 lbs (said he was too frail) and 2nd highest recorded throw speed EVER (behind Milton), which crushed the average arm narrative. Once fans started to see he was an excellent athlete with a big time arm, it started to build.

Went back out of curiosity and looked at about 20 posts between April and August 2024 starting around page 75. Definitely a small list of I was in on JJ early.  :cool:

Was it you and I on Diggs as well long before most? That was a while back now. I just remember posting Jordan cigar memes saying, Me and Sticky right now lol. 

I wasn't huge on the board before the JJ draft, but I stopped in and spoke on JJ. Ask anyone that talked to me around that time though, JJ was my guy. It wasn't close and I didn't really want anyone else. I am just thrilled it worked out for us. I will be the first one to say I was wrong if JJ fails. I don't see it happening, however.


I think so now that I think about it, lol. Felton reminds me of a faster Diggs....same mentality but better speed.
