I thought he was hyped up bullshite from his Jr year forward to be honest. He had some talent being slippery, but he was extremely lucky vs Alabama in that game and the A&M defense gets 0 credit for the win, despite AJ throwing 2 of the 3 total interceptions he had all year in that game - including what would have been the winning TD pass.
He had trumped up stats against lower competition, running up 5 and 6 TD's in games where most QB's would have been taken out much sooner while having average and below average stats vs better defenses.
All that won him a Heisman and a 1st round draft pick and I don't see how he really deserved either.
Fumbling the ball and then being lucky enough to catch it and throw it to a guy who is open as a result of the defense reacting to the fumble isn't what I'd call quality play. Combine that with tons of bad decisions where Mike Evans tall arse balled him out of them for big plays and we then know why the Cleveland Browns are the Cleveland Browns.

i always hated him in the sense he took all the credcit his teammates should have gotten
the very first play of arkansas v. texas a and m in 2013, he runs around in a circle, doesn't look, just heaves the ball up 50 yards into quadruple coverage and mike evans out jumps everyone to make an unreal catch.
everyone on ESPN is like "that's johnny football". i'd never seem shite so lucky in my fricking life lol. i knew then he would be a bust. constantly bailed out by elite NFL talent on his team.

Did you watch the 2013 Bama game? He almost put 600 yards on you and single handedly almost won the game.
Dude could fricking ball.
