What makes you think we aren't going all in on Colzie and Green? I'd say we are. We're a long way from the ESP. Anyone this staff wants, I'm sure they're pushing hard for. Lots of time to work out the numbers.

I wasn’t saying they weren’t, they need to be full force on everyone at this point in time. But if either one decommits they need to cut ties completely imo

Juneteenth if y’all didn’t know is a proclamation made by Texas that freed over 250,000 slaves I believe..This was after Amurikas proclamation declaring all slaves be free.

*Edited for link U can read for urself here,I’m not sure why the link says George Floyd it’s in reference to the situation but completely different-

Actually
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.

Frame: There’s big wideouts, then there’s Julian Nixon. If you’d told me his a defensive end, I wouldn’t have told you otherwise.

Athleticism: He had breakaway speed as a freshman, but 30 pounds later he’s become a top-end athlete based on physicality. He has maintained the fluid body movements that he possessed as a smaller athlete. Has leaping ability relative to size.

Instincts: Physicality is his strong suit. He has the tendency to shut down routes but locates the ball really well in the air. Has decent top-end speed, but understands how to box out defenders and use his size.

Polish: Will need to either continue to work on quick-twitch muscle groupings or change positions. No telling at this point if end of the line blocking is ever in his future, but certainly has the frame and size to become a willing blocker if asked. Ball skills and deeper route running are Power-5 caliber as is.

Bottom Line: Nixon fits the modern age H-back profile ala Tre’ McKitty. Someone who will be deadly as tight end/halfback/slot wide receiver. If you asked him to defeat Power-5 man-to-man corners, I don’t think he’s going to be a separation creator, but perhaps it won’t matter due to his size. Defensive backs certainly won’t want to tangle with him after the catch.

He’s much thicker than I anticipated. (Preemptive TWSS). Sort of looks and moves like AJ Brown with that number 11.

He’s every bit of at least 230. He’s either a possession & red zone receiver or a pass catching TE. Mychal Rivera but quicker.
