Dave in Green Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hope Coach Bowden is right again on his character assessment. Jojo had 3 strikes against him at Utah State. On the other hand he's a fast and elusive receiver and punt returner.Utah State football: WR/PR Jojo Natson dismissed from team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 More potential than anything we have at WR, RB, or return position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 He's really small (5-7, 160) with the heart of a lion. He can play running back, receiver and punt returner. The speed and moves he shows in this video are pretty awesome. The ESPN graphic toward the end of the video says he's the only FBS player with multiple touchdowns rushing, receiving and returns.

Buckzip Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 The article called him a junior. It was a bit confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 An NFL.com story ranked Jojo #7 in its list of the 15 best smallest players in college football this year, ahead of #12 Ernest Calhoun (Can't).15 for '15: College football's smallest playersLittle people, big impact. That's what stood out in CFB 24/7's look at 15 of the smallest players in the college game. Most of them are starters or significant contributors, yet all but one 5-8 or shorter, and they only weigh anywhere from 150 to 178 pounds.The smallest of them all, Can't State's Ernest Calhoun (5-6, 151 pounds), led the Flashes in all-purpose yards last year with 1,033. Bottom line: these guys can play. And if the NFL has room for the likes of Trindon Holliday, Dexter McCluster, Dri Archer and T.Y. Hilton, it could well have room one day for a few of these.7. JoJo Natson, WR, Utah StateSize: 5-7, 160Buzz: If Natson were heavy enough to handle the pounding, his average of 10 yards per rush would make the Aggies' offense unstoppable. As it is, he ranked fourth on the team last year with 50 rushes (498 yards). Oddly enough, he delivered almost exactly the same production as a receiver (51 for 504). Natson also scored two touchdowns on punt returns while averaging 11.7 yards per try (10th in the nation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Geez. Who puts that kind of music in someone's highlight video, which is seen by prospective schools who might be interested in him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Geez. Who puts that kind of music in someone's highlight video, which is seen by prospective schools who might be interested in him? I wondered the same thing and then it occurred to me, the person who created the video might not have done so without Matson's knowledge. There were a few other similar videos by different people.

skip-zip Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Listen, I'm no saint. But, I think I wouldn't be happy if that kind of really strong language was part of any highlight video about me, for public consumption, when the idea is to impress people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disturbing that the background "music" uses the N word about a thousand times. Blazing fast, but if he is a gangsta who needs him. F that.

zippy5 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 He probably didn't even make the thing himself. Not sure why he'd be a "gangsta" because a buddy put some questionable music on a youtube video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) He probably didn't even make the thing himself. Not sure why he'd be a "gangsta" because a buddy put some questionable music on a youtube videoNot to mention just because you listen to a song, or even like a song, doesn't mean you perscribe to everything in that song. "Pumped Up Kicks" has a nice tune to it, but it's about shooting kids because of their shoes...it was one of the most popular songs in 2012.I also am a fan of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" which was used in a "Made in Detroit" commercial during the superbowl a couple of years ago. That doesn't mean I'm a rapper, or that I perscribe to being "white-trash" as is mentioned in the song.The Zips used an Eminem a song a couple of years ago that blantantly talks about selling coke (as in cocaine)...that doesn't mean the Zips perscribe to selling illegal drugs. Just saying Edit: Yes I've corrected rapper for Wrapper. Edited December 7, 2015 by Balsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I didn't think you were a wrapper. Seems like an odd profession. What would you wrap, burritos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
