KJ quote is surprising

[CountStandya 81]

In a video clip I just watched. KJ was quoted he doesn't get paid enough to talk play calling.Thought that was cool.

I like this guy ...at first I though he was an average back...but now I think he is coming to his own. He is a work horse.

Love KJ, hate that he said that. The comment insinuates that auburn is paying him. This is not the kind of attention this program needs right now.

Auburn is paying him.

Are we not paying them for being a college athlete like all other schools....more than just an education. It isnt much but Auburn is paying more than just a scholarship.

Hes a very sarcastic/joking guy. If you follow him on twitter youll see what i mean

[CountStandya 81]

Nah I didn't take it that way at all. I took at like ...look dude you know I can't talk about playing calling. He put some sassy on it with the payment talk...like tongue in cheek .

A lot more refreshing than...Player speak

Agreed. He’s a very likeable guy with a warm personality and coaches naturally gravitate toward him. And I’m sure he’s the same way with the women as well.

Agreed. I’ve probably seen it a thousand times- someone cuts their eyes toward me and then say “that’s not in my paygrade.”

KJ was obviously nicer than that but same concept applies.

I use the "That problem is above my pay grade " all the time.

Exactly.

Yeah I'm sure that's what he was trying to say, but it just came out wrong. If he actually said "that's above my pay grade" it would have sounded better. Either way, using it in an office setting can't be compared to using it as a college football player with today's NCAA.

Where would we be without KJ right now?  He finds holes where there are no holes. He may not be the biggest, or fastest, or most durable, but the dude has a feel for the game and he's a fierce competitor and hard worker.  Give me more like him at other positions.

Have you ever been interested in buying a bridge? Because I have the PERFECT one for sale right now!

It's naive to think that we don't pay players. We are not alone in doing it (in fact, I would wager that the VAST majority of schools do), but I firmly believe that we have before, that we do no, and that we will continue to do so.
