Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

Watching this video over and over makes you believe there is no way this freak of nature even thinks of a redshirt year!!!!

Hard for me to think he wont be our number 1 or 2 receiver.

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

The Foley QB was Roosevelt Byrd. I'm not sure who he ever ended up signing with this spring. Anyone know?

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

espn interviewed calvin johnson the other day and he cleared the talk about the "borrowed shoes story" by saying the shoes were indeed his. he wasnt going to run the 40 yard dash at the nfl combine, so he let another combine player run in his shoes since they had the same shoe size. then calvin johnson changed his mind about not running thr 40 yard dash and decided to run (a 4.35 which is insane for his height and weight and thats why he is going to be the first WR taken in the draft next month). so he asked for his shoes back so he could run it. someone saw the exchange of johnson getting his shoes back and the story was created. sorry if i was runied the story for anybody, cuz it is good one. but i thought i would throw the truth in there on it.

Thanks for clearing that up rolltide8755, It just goes to show what kind of an athlete he is. Tider@UNA I'd still like to know where you got he ran a 4.6 from? Perhaps you could post a link or something?

He signed with Jones County I think it is a JUCO but he is trying to get in to MSU.

Byrd was being looked at by Mississippi State. Academics was his unfortunate downfall. He ended up signing with Jones Junior College out of Ellisville, MS.

I wish him the best of luck.

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

That guy definately has the size, hands, and speed to be an instant impact at the next level. I sure hope that we have the upper hand in signing him.

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

Anyone see him out running Brandon Gibson late in the video...I thought that surely the competition wasn't up to par until I saw that.. We need this guy.

Trust me...he played good competition...he had an amazing game against Daphne for Foley last year as well.

Julio is the reason that my Foley Lions will be crowned state champions in 2007...that's right...you heard it here first! Go Foe-Town!

I'm still looking for it, they showed a graph on Sportscenter one afternoon after the combines showing that he had run a 4.6 and comparing it to Jerry Rice saying fans shouldn't be concerned about a 4.6 because the greatest WR of all time ran one the same time.

I dont know what combine that would have been though. He ran only one forty at the combine and it was a 4.35 I believe. I thought he has always been considered at least a 4.4 guy at worst.

From Johnson's player bio on Tech's website...

AT TECH: Two-time all-America wide receiver and Biletnikoff Award winner who is one of the nation's most talented and most exciting players . . . Rare combination of size, 4.4 speed, strength, leaping ability (45-inch vertical jump), body control and hand-eye coordination, plus a tremendous work ethic.

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

Things that come to mind are; Stiff arm, Size, Speed, Hands, and the fact that we need this player and we must get this player.

We sure do . I wish I had the photo to post that was around a few months back . JJ skied about 3' over double coverage to snag one . I believe it was from one of last years camps/combines .

Doesn't one of our fellow TideFans members know him to some extent ?_ask:

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

There was an LSU (purple and gold) beach ball type of ball in his yard the other day, I said man thats a great ploy keep it out there till signing day then bust out the hat. He laughed, but it was just his kid cousin who lives next door.

I can't wait for this senior year, he can't either he was unhappy about the loss to Prattville. The best thing about Julio is , he's got all the talent without the big head.

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

I remember seeing that picture posted last year and was appalled by his athletic ablility. I did not realize that was him in the picture till just now. We sure need to sign him this year.

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

Okay, I am going to do my best to avoid hyperbole here.....that is, without question, the BEST JUNIOR wider receiver I have EVER seen in the state of Alabama!!!!!!!!!!!

He has absolutely everything- size, speed, power, hands, moves, quickness, explosiveness and vision.

WOW!!!!!

 

[Harmost]

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

His lower body's explosive ability is insane...

Aside from the athleticism, size, and moves, he just has a general tendency to make everything look easy...we've gotta have him.

Re: Julio Jones Vid!!!

His strength makes him a YAC monster. Very impressive.

Also, for an earlier post in this thread, I'm not a big RHCP fan, but it's a welcome change from the constant POD and Rage Against the Machine background music. With all the people uploading YouTube videos, it's only a matter of time until somebody posts a video of their trip to a Rage concert. . . set to POD.
