NorthGATiger 1,801 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Looks like TD went and grabbed Takeo's number. I hope he plays like Takeo. People forget just how good he was. Dude was a beast as a freshman! He owned high school teammate Robert Edwards when we played UGA that year. Met him in the hole on every play. Man I loved watching that dude.

Man I loved watching that dude. Also Carl Lawson's number (sorry I had to throw that in there, he was one of my all time favorite Auburn players). I actually think that it suits him if they are going to use him like they did Lawson in his freshmen year, or Jeff Holland. Needs a few more pounds though. Been waiting on TD to play for a while. I remember when the story broke out that he got shot in the leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of my all time favorite from a personality standpoint. I haven't encountered too many players who combined his work ethic with his respectful personality. I bet any coach in the country would love to have someone like him, who they could throw to the media wolves and know they'd come out smelling like a rose.

au_bsci_04 407 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 TD has put on some great weight this off-season with the aid of a strength coach in Bham. He has done so while still not getting the same nutritional advice and intake as he will once on campus. Kid is ready to play. Is being told he is playing in the opener. Is finding our quick that the guys on campus now are not as buddy-buddy with him and just going to allow him to take their spots. Going to be some great depth and great comp at LB this year and years to come. Most exciting and talented position group we've had in more than a decade.

What's even more exciting is that Wide Receiver and even QB could give them a run for it. When was the last time AU could say that about any of those 3 positions. On a side note... how nice is it that we have an opening game where we can confidently get some of these new guys out on the field and see how they handle he spotlight?

Being told his initial reps will be at Buck until he learns the playbook and is more confident in the LB role. Basically pin his ears back and get the QB. Straight pass rush. Athleticism.

Yours is the first I've seen to be different TBH. I would prefer him at the Buck personally with the lack of depth there & Big Cat seemingly likely to Redshirt to get bigger. but just posting what I have heard.
