Can it be 2019 yet... I am done ATM. Hope MBB can beat UT tonight. At least Kam Martin will get reps. Good Luck KJ.

I’m only a little bit surprised. Best of luck! WDE

Hallalujah!!!   Maybe some more RB will get some reps.

So now we'll need another 3 or 4 games at the start of next season to figure out our identity and go-to running back.

Come on down, Mr. Martin, Martin, Miller, and Barrett!

[weathergeakal 283]

This also tells me he has had his mind made up for a while.

[AUApostle 7,648]

And so this begs the question...was he playing to not get hurt yesterday?  On many of his runs he sure seemed to play it safe...not quite showcasing the determination he's known for.

We haven't seen the best of Kerryon Johnson, not by a long shot. He is going to develop into a very good NFL running back, and I think he'll be a steal for the team that drafts him.

[AuCivilEng1 10,995]

So are we assuming that Pettway is going pro? Because if he came back that would be amazing.

why would you throw that out there? His heart and his drive all those years here, tell me nothing of that thinking. Just throw it out there? lol. 

Anyway, I don't think anyone will say he was...or agree with your thoughts...

I hope so Barnacle but his durability is questionable. No doubt he has the heart.

KP is not going to be back.

War Damn Eagle Kerryon. Ball out in the NFL.

I disagree. Not a question that's even worth considering, with respect to Kerryon.

[The Plainsman 948]

Best of luck to him!  Go make us proud!  WDE!

[AidiAU 1,270]

I could cry. Man, I love KJ! 

WDE #21! You will be missed by all.

That's done with man.

[steeleagle 2,945]

Good luck to you KJ. I think your decision was the best one for you.

With his injuries...I think as a RB, now is the best time. He is not going to improve his draft status any better coming back, and I am afraid Gus will only drive him into the ground again...lol.

ok, fair enough....probably "too soon" anyway.

 

This thread is going to get pretty sappy...it'll need a little spice...you'll see.

He actually tried leaping a couple of times and I was thinking he could get hurt doing that. I didn’t think he looked 100% tho. I did think he was trying!
