That was true in his first 2 years at UF. He wasn't very good in his second year due to that illness.

Nope, all last season, and into the preseason of this NFL season, I was told exactly what I said. :suspect:

They need their eyes examined. I said that about his first 2 years and going into last year. However, he was a tough physical runner in his last year at UF. That has carried into his NFL career. Sure he runs straight up, but so have a lot of great backs.

I know KT was a legacy but Derrick Henry should have been a Gator. We should have been able to sign both.

Rumor has it that chump wanted Henry to play LB at UF. That's when he started looking at bama. But chump NEVER interfered with the offense...

Jones still runs too straight up.
He fumbled as well, but overall had a great 2nd game for a rookie.

And by the way, Matt is the epitome of a player who chops wood and carries water.


He is. He never got the credit he deserved. He was a hard worker and played through some "adversity" on and off the field. Unfortunately his case seems like one of those where a guy develops a reputation (warranted or not) and he can never change the public's perception of him not matter what the truth is or how hard he works. Fans, especially Gator fans are a stubborn lot.
