His position coach… a former NFL player….
and 2 picks from the top 11 selections in last year’s draft….
all have stated JSN is better than both of them.
It seemed like there were some rumblings about JSN over-playing his injury and “sitting out” of games last year.
Does this raise any concerns with anyone here?
What’s the word around the OSU campus on JSN’s work ethic and maturity?..I’m looking at you @HSVLion if you’ve heard or read anything.
Is JSN a diva or a dog?
Anything you heard about JSN “overplaying” his injury was the typical predraft crap trying to lower his stock because someone lower down the board knows how good he is and wants him.
I still don’t know the full story because it’s been kept pretty confidential, but my best understanding of the situation is that Ryan Day tried to rush him back the first time. There was no reason he should’ve been playing with a hamstring strain two weeks out against Toledo. That was just stupid. The week after should’ve been the first time he playerd if he was ready and even if he missed that game we would’ve been fine.
Day thought he needed his best weapon to be able to look good for the committee I guess. I also think he didn’t know how good MHJ was going to be until he started making plays later in the season.
Is JSN a diva? No. He’s not. Does he catch 202 balls every day on the jugs machine like a certain someone? I mean it wouldn’t surprise me, but there’s no great publicity about his outstanding work ethic like there is with Amon-Ra, Marvin, or someone like Devonta Smith. He doesn’t not work on his game.
