Got some up-close experience with this kid at Maryland.  Obviously a great athlete, but a brick for a head.  Cheated on a pop quiz at Maryland so got suspended for a year.  When he was passed on the depth chart that year, and couldn't regain it the year after, he transferred to a D3 school.  He had a TON of problems with snap counts, and when we brought him in for the "Portis Package" (similar to the Johnson package we have now), it seemed like half the time there was a false start or delay of game.  That being said, he's a ridiculous athlete, and throws a real nice ball.  If he has his presnap and off field issues behind him, he could be a decent 6th/7th round pick if we were to ship Johnson elsewhere.

is there going to be a full list of which players we met with, I think I remember PR doing an article on that last year but I can't remember

I think they wrote an article about the pre-draft visits.

Either way, I've only seen Devine and Portis as confirmed combine meetings.

I would imagine Dominik and the boys meeting with everyone.  What else do they have to do up there?  Even if they are not interested in drafting a kid, that getting to know you thing could come in handy down the road.

Well, by NFL rules a team can only meet with 60 players at the combine.

This dude is an idiot. Please not draft him.

He's an excellent athlete and was one of the top dual threat QB's in the country years ago but this guy makes the dumbest decisions off the field. For a "project", I REFUSE to tolerate garbage.

This guy has accuracy concerns and runs a sub 4.5 40... I can see him landing on a team in later rounds as a wildcat option only...

The Bucs probably met with the guy to keep him as an option should we trade JJ...

However, IMHO, I would rather keep JJ...
