All things Emmett

It says alot for Eric having made that statement. He should know. Being a Seahawk fan, I am so pissed at the Hawks for choosing Price over EJ.
Who in the league---outside of Nebraska fans---could have envisioned at this point in the season that Coach Reid would have to reassure fans during his weekly presser that:
YES, BOTH the Chiefs' superstar RB, Kenneth Walker and rookie, Emmett Johnson will be playing Sunday.
Man I wish he was still here. I honestly think we might be undefeated if he were here. Our offense would be 10 times better with him.
My wife and I ran into Emmett at Eppley a few weeks ago. Very nice and engaging young man. We really appreciated that he talked to everyone who recognized him and he signed autographs for everyone who asked.
I too wish he was still here. Maybe we are undefeated maybe not but he'd definitely make our offense better.
It is interesting to see how NFL scouts weren't able to translate EJ's ability to break tackles and use his jump cut and vision. He's an unusual mix of skills - and isn't the fastest guy in the open field. But the stats in college showed his amazing ability to break tackles - I guess they didn't feel it would translate in the NFL. It does.
Not only his running ability but he's a huge receiving threat out of the backfield. He's already shown that in his rookie season. Mind-boggling he didn't go before the 5th round.
