I can see why the fans like him. He is almost everything you want in a player, he is football smart, makes a lot of big plays, and a leader on the team.
I just think he is too small for the NFL. I dont quite even know why, as he is the same size basically as Charles Woodson. But he just looks small, I dont know if its the way he runs or the way he carries his body weight. But Charles Woodson never looked small the way DeJean does on the field.
I am sure my take here is not going to be very popular but it is what I think. Maybe you all can talk me out of it. I am always open to learning.
But somehow I just think he is going to be one of those guys where the announcer is saying 'it's a game of inches' while good QB's are beating him over the top and the ball is flying past his outstretched hands, just inches away from his fingers.
I was honestly surprised to see he was 6'1" after watching him play. I was expecting 5'9" or maybe less. If anyone can help me and tell me why he looks small on the field I would like to know.
He is a great player, smart and fast. I will not deny that.
I just don't see him being great in the NFL
