TJ Heading to the NFL

[Rontheoldwiseeagle]

I spectulate that TJ wil NOT run at the combine, but instead will wait to be timed at the Pro day which is sometime in Mar. This would give him another 3-4 weeks to recover. He will be able to do all the measuring, and interviews, but would be wise to wait on running.

News at the Football banquet was JC will not run until the Pro day which i think it March 31th.

Oops that TJ

The NFL scout (or whatever he is) over on CS has also heard that TJ won't be running at the combine, and will wait until his Pro Day.

Yes it looks as if he won't run at the Combine from what folks are telling me. I don't think this hurts him at all as long as he shows up to his pro day looking good and runs well.

Here's an article that's a couple weeks old, but includes a quote from Rob Rang, same guy who wrote up TJ's draft analysis linked by Obzerver a couple posts up.

Doing film on #EWU Jr RB Taiwan Jones. Wow. The most electrifying open-field runner I’ve seen this year. At RB or WR. FCS or FBS.

it is nice to see TJ getting some nice press from the scouts. I really hope his injury is a non factor on pro day because I think he deserves to go in the early rounds. He has all the tools.
