    WTF? What is he supposed to do...sit in a room somewhere and just wait for the draft? He trained and had his pro day. He is visiting teams. There is a lot of down time for him at the moment. People only care because he is Johnny Football. He has the money to attend the Final Four....big deal. Texans drafted a choir boy and a homebody before....how well did David Carr work out for them?

    David Carr was actually a classic media w**** who cared more about looking good than being good. The only time Carr stayed home was when he could have gotten to practice early or stayed late.

    So I went back and re-read about the last 200 or so posts, and with a certainty level reaching well into the late 90's in percentile, I can tell this endoftheworld character is probably a longhorn t-shirt fan and one hell of a scared fella. Funny thing is, he is probably the type to drop his panties upon sight of Johnny Football once he arrives to Houston.

    complete lack of understanding the pro game? LOL......

    Your statements against the kid get worse and worse.....

    Might want to let him have a "few" snaps at the pro level first....maybe?

    Lol, I dont get what Johnny is supposed to do right now? Sit at home and re-study his Aggie playbook?

    The guy dedicated a few months to purely training and he dominated his pro day...he's in great shape and he has no other commitments, other than visiting teams and working out. That still leaves about 20 hours a day to sleep and entertain himself. The guy is allowed to have a life, specially when he is undrafted and has no contract with an NFL team.

    He just wants Teddy, but there is zero chance of that happening unless the Texans trade down.

    Oh I didn't know that Texans announced that they won't pick Bridgewater at #1 overall. Interesting

    Pro day, bro. Yeah, it mattered. Not saying it should, but it did.

    He didn't have great pro day, but wasn't terrible. It was only decent. Pro day shouldn't take someone out of #1 consideration. Unless they were never really high of him from beginning and NO ONE knows where any of these prospects sit on Texans board besides Texans only.

    It was just a game Johnny attended, he's a popular kid. I go to games after work all the time and I know it sounds crazy, but it doesn't affect my work performance. It's after his pro day and combine, should he sit in his house until camp opens? Let the star QB figure it out and mature - you guys in your early 20's where probably LOL and he's one of the greatest college players ever so these super strong emotional opinions seem weird. Being popular isn't necessarily bad/evil, but i'm empathetic to everyone who looks at Johnny and get's upset, he's living the dream right now. Be happy for him instead. (and hope we DON'T pick him #1 )

    wow. impressive.

    would like to see Bortles' score for comparison purposes. Maybe Manziel is more in the mix than we thought? I'm still in the Clowney camp

    WTF...!!!! Johnny had a wonderlic score north of 30...???

    Oh hell no. All that kid does is party and hang with Drake. That's impossible.

    Well they can't help him grow 5 inches so really can't spin anything.
