I hope he does well there.  From what little I know about JJ he's not a bad kid, despite his problems.

I hope he does well there, too.

The only part that made me want to edit the article was the "second chance" comments of the coach, as if UT didn't give him at least 3 chances. I know he means a second chance at another university, but it stills bugs me.

I like Janzen and his comment of apology. He can have a great future if he can strip away the elements of his life that are dragging him down. Best of luck to him.

As a couple of you have said, I hope he can get himself straightened out, too, but given his history and patterns it really isn't likely.

Classic example of a ten cent head sitting on the shoulders of a ten million dollar talent.

Best of luck to him. Former headcases Daniel Brooks and Lamarcus Coker matured and got their lives together, so I hope JJ does the same. He has first round NFL talent, but I am not sure he will make the NFL.
