atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Warrick Dunn is about the classiest player in NFL history...glad to know CJ wants to emulate him. Listened to him this morning on local radio here in Atlanta. He just finished getting his MBA from Emory University. A very prestigious school. Dunn is a very good humble guy.

Dunn is a very good humble guy. I guess that's one more reason to like him since Im an Emory grad, as well...kudos to him! I remember hearing about his mom being killed and how it affected him. He used it as the inspiration to create a program where they build houses for the needy, IIRC. Just a great guy all-around....and wasn't a bad football player, either.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Warrick Dunn is about the classiest player in NFL history...glad to know CJ wants to emulate him. Absolutely. And as a football player, Dunn was smaller than CJ but he had tons of touches in his NFL career AND had a long career. I personally don't believe we should burden CJ with more than 15-17 touches per game which is what Warrick Dunn did. He is the ONE smaller finesse back who stood up to a fairly heavy workload. Dunn was 5'9" 190 pounds and played 12 seasons. He played in 181 games and had 3199 total touches which averages to 17.6 touches per game. He'll get winded. I think the interview winded him #ITSFREDSTURN That would be funny if midway through CJs interview he left and Freddy jumped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember back in the year he was drafted, I was REALLY wanting us to draft Antowain Smith...so when Tampa Bay took Dunn a few picks earlier, I was glad about that. Antowain was a decent RB, but would have been so cool to have drafted Dunn instead. As you pointed out, he was just a little guy..I really never would have guessed that he would have been as durable and productive as he was. He and Alstott were a pretty nice tandem for TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Do you want to have him get into his doghouse? It's a somewhat inside joke...in another thread it was being discussed how CJ always praised Gailey despite the fact many feel CJ was under-utilized. I think it's just the guy's nature to be respectful of his coaches -- and there's nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloFan68 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The NFL channel listed the top 5 RBs last night and CJ wasn't even mentioned. I hope he takes the number 1 spot this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Nah bruh. That's Stevie's title I dunno. CJ is featured in the new "Lead the Charge" video. Would link to it but it's a commercial when watching videos on buffalobills.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Peterson, Gore, Foster and Alfred Morris had more production than CJ last year (Irrespective of the fact that CJ was not given the ball enough). CJ also did not have enough TDs (again Gailey preferred to give the ball to Choice or Jackson inside the red zone) for the season. Hoping CJ has a monster season this year to finally shut up all the naysayers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
