Grantland Article on Denard
Nice little article on Denard over at Grantland. Great to see him continuing his success the past couple of weeks.

I wear a Denard jersey to bed every night.

Jim Harbaugh wears his khakis to bed every night.

I call my State Farm agent (who wears khakis) every night.

Yeah, but does he wear a headset?

She sounds hideous.

Great to see Denard get "good ink." It's also great to see him elevated above Tebow for his willingness to change positions. My position on Tebow all along is that he could have had a long career as a TE or H-Back. Denard is smart enough to know where his best chances lie and humble enough to subjugate his ego.

Tebow=Phony, premadonna masquerading as the opposite. That is why he is no longer working in football.
Denard= The Team, The Team, The Team

Tebow = not very talented quarterback masqeurading as the opposite. I would bet most NFL coaches/GMs care more about talent than personality. If he could ball, he'd still be in the league.

I really like that guy.
November 5th, 2014 at 2:08 PM ^
I miss Denard.

I picked him up for my fantasy team. He's been strong in there the past three weeks.
November 5th, 2014 at 2:18 PM ^
My friend dared me to start him on my team when he first got the starting nod for the Jags. I declined, but picked him up anyways, all in good fun. To my dismay (and at the same time, my delight) he went off and certainly got the start on my team the following 2 weeks.

best part is he is listed as WR and RB so basically you can start an extra RB in a WR spot
November 5th, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
Two weeks ago, after Denard had about 75 yards in the first quarter, I told my friend that if he got over 15 fantasy points that I would buy a Denard Jags jersey. Best bet I've ever lost.

Devin will be as smart as Denard and realize he could be an NFL WR (but probably not QB).

it was opening sunday for the lions (would eventually lose to the bears on a bs calvin complete the process rule). it was the day after this happened:
me and my gf were walking to subway at the state and packard intersection. i see a guy in normal street clothes and a michigan tshirt. as we started to get closer i realized who it was, and all that i could think was oh god dont embarrass yourself. well he went to shake hands and i tommy boy'd him and just hugged him and all i said was thank you, thank you. he laughed and smiled and continued on his way. then we ate subs.
proud to have denard represent this fine university and town.

That's crazy.
November 5th, 2014 at 2:20 PM ^
Especially in the last few weeks, it has been nice to see Robinson settle into a role as a pretty solid RB for Jacksonville, and as the article mentions, having him simply focus on that role and doing away with the "offensive weapon" thing has helped immensely. I did think the Antwaan Randle El comparison was interesting - hopefully, it turns out to be a story like that.

I'm not sure whose graduation has hurt the program more, Denard or Lloyd Brady! They both made me smile.
November 5th, 2014 at 3:33 PM ^
16 on the field and number 1 in my heart
November 5th, 2014 at 11:13 PM ^
I don't know how I've never seen this, but I love it, and I hope Denard has seen it! I'm sure he'd get a nice chuckle out of it :)

It was on ESPN a few times in 2012 and Denard said it was weird because it was a love song from a guy, which is kind of the whole joke. Oh well, I'm not about to say anything remotely negative about Denard.
November 5th, 2014 at 3:04 PM ^
Does the fact that Denard plays RB for a bad team hurt him fantasy-wise - as in the Jags can be often expected to trail late in the game, which tends to incline teams to pass more often?
November 5th, 2014 at 3:14 PM ^
Normally, yes. Even if you look at the Jags offense BDS (Before Denard Started), this is true. But these past three games he has done a good job of establishing himself early - I think ~75 and ~45 yards in the past two first quarters - kind of forcing them to continue to hand him the ball.

And I was told Tate Forcier was going to be my college quarterback, best surprise ever
November 5th, 2014 at 3:52 PM ^
I love seeing DRobinson being successful. Great guy and great representative of Michigan.
November 5th, 2014 at 4:12 PM ^
I wear my #16 jersey every saturday during the Michigan game... its a tradition. Only difference is DB cant break this tradition lol
November 5th, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
I sometimes wonder what would have happened with Denard had Tate Forcier had a better work ethic. Tate was clearly the preferred starter throughout his freshman year and also the superior passer. Had he come in with a great work ethic, he may have started 4 straight years and Denard may have been a RB from his sophomore year on.
