I believe so, yes.

But really, how kick ass would it be if LJ had 9-11 plays for TDs over 50 yards. I'd be posting all over the shart thread!

I expect LJ to kick ass next year.  I'm hoping he will do that kicking on behalf of the Texas Longhorns but that hope does not affect my expectations for his performance.

[ztejas 43528]

Randy Moss just put a pair of LJ catches at #2 on his top 5 "you got Mossed" on the year. Tech game winner and the bomb against WVU.

Put it in the trophy case.

I haz the sad 😭😭

[TexasFan21 1275]

I had the feeling that we would get 1 of the 2 back between him and CJ. 

[TexasTroll 454]

Thanks for the memories

Bummer. Good Luck.

CJ’s about to have to work a lot harder to improve his draft stock as  defenses can focus on him until someone else proves worthy of their attention as a WR. 

[Patrick Bateman 3918]

Best of luck, LJH!!!!  Wish we could have seen one more year.

 

[Boerne Horn 418]

Good luck, LJH!  Tear shit up in the NFL!

[futureman 22530]

I know he didn’t get the top 2 round grade but I bet he goes 2nd round.  he just has too much NFL potential.  aside from the fact that he has elite body control, ball skills, and a true understanding of the nuances of the game (which is rare), he’s also 6’4” 225.  he really was the best football player on the field whenever he played.  he translates to the NFL very well and I think after more scouts evaluate his game tapes his stock will rise. 

hook em LJ 

[Valmy77 13270]

The best player on our team rides off into the sunset.

Loved having you on the team LJH! Good luck!

I hope we can find some physical WRs who can replace him. That was just brutal how he would truck people....and then the entire team would appear pushing him forward for another five yards.

Too much of a tweener to go 2nd round. He has outside receiver height but not outside receiver speed. He has power and damn good hands but not the quick feet NFL wants at slot receiver. 

A lot like Poona he'll be 6th/7th/undrafted because he doesn't fit the mold but he'll be starting and producing before long with the team that takes him.

Good luck at the next level. He probably
“made a mistake” by leaving early. Hope he runs a good 40. I might actually watch a game on Sunday to see if he can run someone over.

[GoldAppleCorps 624]

He has everything needed to be an elite NFL receiver. He did not get a chance to show it consistently this season because the Texas offense was still figuring out where all the pieces would fit. If he'd stayed another year, he'd be near the top of the receiver boards.

A lot goes into being a collegiate athlete. It's another year of books, classes, conditioning, etc. plus another season playing "for free". I don't know what his overall situation is. I wish the NFL would let kids wait until the beginning of March to declare. The exhaustion right after the season finishes is too easy to simply want to earn a paycheck for that work.

LJH put the Longhorns on his back and moved the whole program up a couple of notches. We'll always be grateful, and wish him the best of luck.

if LJH goes undrafted I’ll cut off my dick and eat it. 

[pyrohornIII 4817]

Thank you for going all in for UT.  Obviously that is how you approach all of life.   Whoever is smart and lucky enough to draft you will bring a player for the ages to their team.

[Snake Diggity 4627]

4th or 5th round.  He wasn’t going to suddenly become fast or quick enough to be a 1st or 2nd round pick, so he is probably making a good decision. 

 

Only guys who should come back are guys who either a.) might not be drafted at all or b.) have injuries, off the field issues, or untapped athleticism that they can improve to significantly improve their stock.

He is tough , scrappy, and has great hands . 

NFL is evolving, usual formulas may not apply fully. New young coaches will also see the potential.

Thank you LJH!

Before the season began, I thought we would really miss Reggie Hemphill-Mapps at some point.

That never really happened.

Maybe in the return game, but maybe not.

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

He seems like a guy that would excel in a place like NE - they are great at getting a ton of production out of guys that don't necessarily fit in traditional roles. Seems like more and more teams are starting to catch up in that regard too. 

[HiggyBaby 2545]

Good for him. Looking forward to seeing him at the next level.

[Hozz 1017]

He had maybe his best game against Tech...Kingsbury will have at least some say in who the Cardinals draft, I would not be surprised to see them reach a little for him.  A year to learn under Larry Fitzgerald (if he returns) would be an amazing gift to any young WR.

[Machinator 32099]

 

[SA-KC_Horn 1295]

LJ cut down to 210lbs for the 40?

I assumed he played in the 220s.

[Nope 3121]

Definitely thought he was taller than that

Yeah a good 40 time at the Combine will really help LJH since many NFL Scouts rate him lower due to the perception he's slower than other WRs.

When I watch LJH, he seems to play faster when the balls in the air..... I've seen some compare him to a player like Anquan Boldin who had a pretty good NFL career.....

[Fico 1791]

I think he has always been portrayed as 6’4” so just about accurate.

[Catdaddyhorn 3447]

Not to mention these measurements are without shoes on. He's essentially a 6'5" WR on the field. 

[Catdaddyhorn 3447]

I think his shuttle time will be impressive for his size.

Yeah that's a little disappointing. Julio Jones was 6'3 220 and got 18 reps. Hakeem Butler got 18. 

[1leggedduck 443]

LJH has about a 20' wingspan. Also, has the NFL put that team max for an extra point thing into play?

It wouldn't be terribly surprising if his bench numbers have dropped due to him cutting weight. 

[Neonmoon 38130]

Would be pretty impressive if he runs a 4.5

i thought he was more of a 4.6 guy

If he pulls off a sub 4.6, I'll be impressed.

Hopefully he gets drafted higher than I think he will for himself and for our future recruiting purposes.
