The list goes on. A lot of our best athletes went JUCO first.

Re: Saints rookie linebacker Johnson says it’s time to make impression
I played cornerback, so me and him used to have some pretty heated battles in practice. That injury though....I was so hurt for him when it happened. After he had such a terrific freshman year. I wish he could stick with an NFL team.

Re: Saints rookie linebacker Johnson says it’s time to make impression
Dude was such a freak athlete. 6'6" 230 lbs., if I remember right, and still looked faster than anyone else on the field. Craziness. I wonder what has kept him from being able to stick. I know that had a few little nagging injuries even after he recovered from the broken leg. Maybe he is the Greg Oden of football. :-/

I can't really say why it hasn't worked out for him, I just hold out hope that it does. Because i was with him on draft night when he didn't get picked, and it was a horrible feeling for everybody.

The heated rivalries between Jackson, Harrison, and Hancock county schools breeds some fierce competition. I went to Hancock, by the way. Back when we were good. My senior year (2001-2002) was our first year at 5A (the biggest class back then), and everyone said we were going to get smashed. We ended up 9-2 and missed out on south state because of a BS tiebreaker. We were tied for second in our district with Meridian, and they beat us on a points tiebreaker. Of course, Brandon HS and Jerrius Norwood were #1. That kid was another freak on the field! Hattiesburg had the #1 passing game in the state that year, and we beat them twice in one night. We won the game, and on the last snap we cleared the sidelines and sent them home with a good old fashioned ass kicking to boot. LOL I'm on a tangent reminiscing now. My bad.

We were playing our JV against them back in '08. Meridian always knocked us out the playoffs. Except my freshman year when we played Panola in state. Derek Pegues......

Re: Saints rookie linebacker Johnson says it’s time to make impression
I think Rufus shines Sunday. He's looked good in camp, he just hasn't shown much in the games.
He might be the 1st draft pick to be cut if he looks bad Sunday. |

Re: Saints rookie linebacker Johnson says it’s time to make impression
So far he has been a relatively disappointment. Hope he shines Sunday.
