Draft prospect OT DJ Humphries has 2 visits lined up with CAR

Shot up draft boards. Local Charlotte kid. 5 Star Recruit. Great athlete, projects as a left tackle. Plays nasty and with a mean-streak. Needs to show that he can add weight and sustain that weight. Injury concerns, needs to be coached up.

There's a large thread on him in the Draft section for anyone interested. A couple guys like Daniel Jeremiah have him as their #1 tackle prospect.

every team needing OL help are gonna be interested in DJ. 

 

only a handful of OT's look the part of a LT, and DJ is one of them. 

 

I agree and would totally be cool with him.  Peat and Clemmings worry me about starting at LT off the bat.  Collins, Flowers, Fisher, and Humphries though I'm cool with. 

 

I don't know why anyone would not want him unless they care that much about his arms being 1/4" shorter than many like.

He's a natural LT and will most certainly be gone by the time we come up at 25. 

Don't be fooled with all these mock drafts having La'El Collins and Ereck Flowers picked ahead of DJ Humphries. 

Those guys are right tackles and will be taken after DJ.

I am worried about this as well. 

 

I like Fisher also. He has the size and athletic ability to be a natural LT. 

 

Praying one of them is on board.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
