Janarion Grant Takes It To The House

I’ll never forget almost dropping my 18 month old as we were leaving the stadium in the rain as he broke this. Always electric.
I remember asking out loud (to no one in particular)…why would you even kick to him?
Big play after big play after big play.
The best returner in RU history [better than Nate Jones] and one of the best playmakers in college football during his playing days.
GO RU

Issues? He was fine in the NFL, just couldn't hang onto the ball when he got hit. I often thought it was because of his size, and the size of his hands compared to the larger NFL ball.
You know.. I thought maybe Terrell Willis could make an argument.. but I checked stats.. no contest.
Glad he is still doing his thing. His 5th season at RU was a strange one.
Had he not gotten injured against Iowa....
Had he not fumbled a couple of times when he was with the Ravens
Fair catches aren't allowed in the CFL. I remember that the Giants acquired Leon Bright from the CFL as a punt returner. He never called for fair catches, and one time he got leveled with a massive hit.
Against the Lions.
And I think if you fair catch in the CFL it’s a point for the other team. I know it used to be and I believe it was called a “rouge”, pronounced roooshe.
Think it’s just for touchbacks now.
Iowa defender stomped his ankle. Some thought it was dirty. Don't recall or care.
How many punt/kickoff TD’s does he have in the CFL? Every season it seems we see a couple highlights of his returns
Happened right in front of me as Grant was heading for a score.
A real cheap play by Iowa.
Edit: After watching in slow motion it didn't look like a dirty play:

Yeah, I slowed down the slow motion and grabbed screen shots. Just an unfortunate play. Notice that the time stamp of 0:25 has not changed from the first shot where Grant's right leg is extended fully forward and the Iowa defender first makes contact to when Grant's right leg is behind him and he is falling forward when the Iowa's defender's left foot is over Grant's calf.
I don't know what was more painful, listening to Beth Mowins with the speed of the audio slowed down or watching Grant get injured.
All that hair is drag against the wind, imagine how fast Grant would be if he got a hair cut. He would get a TD every time he got the ball
It was cool that he nodded to his team mates who were cheering him on, during his sprint to the end zone.Watching him run before he got hurt was like watching a video game. Jeez what a weapon he was!
he was unbelievable in the Arkansas and Washington State games at home!
Of all of those types of name changes, this one wasn't so bad.
Eskimos was offensive?Of all of those types of name changes, this one wasn't so bad.
I'm just saying if you HAD to change it was a good pick.
I like the Eskimos name too.
Has he fumbled in Canada? That's what got him cut by the Ravens. They loved him otherwise.
Based on your posts, you seem like a nice and intelligent guy.
Do a few Google searches. You may agree or not but there is a reasonable rationale for the name change.
