The guy has been there for us on the field and off the field. He was a great investment, great player, great teammate and great member of the community. The guy earned his paychecks week in and week out, both the big ones and the smaller ones.

If this is it for him, then thanks CJ for the games. It has been our distinct pleasure having you with us for your career. Please stick around and keep being part of this organization!

I remember watching him during OTAs as a rookie and second year player--then, there was no tarp and the DL practiced in a corner away from the street side of the field.  You could see and hear the coaches and players interacting. CJ was a goofball---he was always getting yelled at by the coach.  One day,  CJ was not getting something right, but the coach kept yelling at him.  CJ just stood on the side of the drill, hands on hip, watching the other players do the drill.  It did not seem to bother him.  He had done nothing in the league at that point, and he was struggling through basic drills.  I thought, "There goes a bust if I have ever seen one..."  Not much of a story, but he did come a long way from a third round pick to what he was in his prime.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
