Should have never sent that tweet

Wait, I thought he was awesome and a game changer? You mean Leach knew what was up? Are you telling me any 3 star semi-competent back could have been inserted in the Deboaer/Penix offense????

Weird

Well he was certainly better than any running back we had last year, and likely any RB on the roster right now.

This is such a sad, dark post.

Dillon Johnson was a very good college RB and by all accounts, a solid person.

Several guys from Greenville are going to be playing a while in the NFL.

Leach told Woody that Dillon was soft.

Because they also happen to stalk their ex wives.

He was a gamechanger at WU. State too. Don’t be a faaaag

 

[msudawg12]

Good For Dillon. I hope he makes it and is a hell of an NFL player

 

[RiverCityDawg]

Leach told Woody that Dillon was soft.

No he didn't. He told someone he thought Dillon was "not very tough". I know nuance is lost on many these days, but that's not the same as calling someone "soft".

 

[Baddog11]

The file on him said “doesn’t take coaching well” “bad attitude toward teammates and staff.” Ouch

[Irondawg]

Ouch, that is harsh.

for some reason I thought he was going back for a 5th year at UW but sounds like they may not have wanted him

Hope the best for him. NFL doesn't do drama from walk ons. I hope he makes it.

He’s divorced too?

 

[Faustdog]

Never mind

Yeah, I'm not sure in this day and age that a running back's lack of getting drafted is a real litmus test anymore. There were no running backs taken in the first round and only 1 in the second round. There were only 3 in the third round and the rest were 4th round or later.

He didn't get drafted. That doesn't mean he wasn't part of Washington's success and it doesn't mean we couldn't have used him here.

In the same vein, you could say they are plug and play.

I mean at the end of the day, do I wish he'd stayed? Yes, because he was an MSU guy. I also wish Mike Leach had lived, and that M-STATE would not be abandoned. We don't always get what we want.

Show me where that was said by a reputable source. Because it didn’t.

So are we talking American or British?

Exactly. Running backs aren’t as valued as they used to be because many don’t last long (among other reasons). I’m not sure how many total were drafted this year- it just wasn’t a lot. His injuries probably did him in if I had to imagine.

Washington doesn’t make it to the title game without him. They needed his tough running to open their offense up. He’s always made the most of what he has and he’ll continue that because of who he is. You are beyond delusional if you still are adamant we didn’t need him last season.

And for the negative people on this board still rooting for him to fail- you are far more “soft” than he ever dreamed of being. He is still a FA, which means he’s achieved a level of probably less than 1% of athletes will ever reach.

Nope. He’d always planned on declaring for the draft after this season. Like planned since high school.

Of course lots can happen in that time frame, but he stuck to it.

 

[Bulldog45]

Leach told Woody that Dillon was soft.

I’m of the opinion Leach was the kind of guy who would try to run somebody off if he thought it would light a fire in them and benefit them in the long run, and then he’d be happy for their success somewhere else.
