Yes and no. Part of that was on him. He showed up being Keyshawn Johnson's nephew thinking he had it made. He screwed around flunking classes and not studying the playbook. Finally Urban had to humble him and set him on the bench for a year. He learned his lesson. He was finally used well his final two seasons with the Bucks.
He led the team his sophomore year in spite of being the number two man on the other side of Devon Smith. (Why aren't you hearing about him? He was drafted by the J-E-T-S Jets, 'tough said.) In his junior year, he led the team in receiving again in spite of tOSU having lost their offensive coordinator to Houston and replacing him with some inept hack how pretty much wasted all of the offensive talent Ohio State had that year.
Anyone who watched what he did to first Bama then to the Ducks (although most folks were watching Jones and giving him the credit) in the college playoffs should've known right there what a "catch" he was gonna be.
I know some folks around here were discouraged by his pick at the time, but I stood up and cheered.
