oracle79 3,569 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Would have been the first 300 lb. TE I'd ever seen playing meaningful snaps and not just a jumbo extra lineman at the TE slot package. Not surprised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been nice to know last week. One of the recruiting services had Pegues listed as a DE. Maybe ESPN? In any case, he seems like the 500 pound gorilla in the room, he'll sit wherever he wants to sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the numbers listed on signing thread had 6’2” 298. 4 inches taller might handle that much weight at TE. But I predict a change. Either he sheds 30 or a position move. Whichever happens I hope it’s for his benefit. Which would also be our benefit too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a player placed to play in so many positions...TE, HB, Wildcat, and now DE...Next we'll hear he will be a MLB... Wonder if he could play both ways early on?

Reminds me of another highly regarded TE named Jeremiah that we signed...Jay Ratliff. He could play all the positions along the DLine. It appears JJ is already close to Jay’s NFL size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 They listed him as DT when listing the players that AU signed so if he didn't know he likely does now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That night I was watching some basketball and they listed each school and listed each player. On that ticker they had him listed as DT. I pointed it out to someone I was watching the game and neither of us could figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR 2,427 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 If he likes money(and im assuming he does) I would listen if the AU defensive coaches came calling. Look at the track record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,876 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 First of all, I’m really excited to have this kid!!! He put us(Warren Central) out of the playoffs on his way to a State Championship! He’s a monster!!!! Second, Gus talked about his versatility on the O side during his presser. No indication of D at all. I hope they have a clear and well-communicated plan for JJ. I don’t want him to be one of those “freak athletes who just didn’t fit any one position well” guys that make us dream about what could’ve been.
