Gonna miss him. He's a stud. Best of luck and thanks for all the sweat.
Who's next out of the Tverdov FB Player Factory?

I actually was unaware that he had another year of eligibilty left.
He and Onyechi surprisingly regressed this season. Curious if someone with more football knowledge can explain if this was due to system or something else.
He graduated HS in 2017. He’s been at this for a while. I wish him luck with the draft but I would imagine there’s an element of “I need to get on with my life”.
He was suspended by Schiano for the Wisconsin game so maybe he wore out his welcome. You expect more from a 5th year senior.
Not a great season for him . Indiana game offisides in 2018 remained a tough moment to overcome. Appreciate he was a contributor here for 4 years and his brother too . Good luck to him .
Probably more to it, because he's not getting drafted. Free agent, shot...
Just sayin……not a system issue it’s a skill set issue. So he couldn’t pressure a QB in the B1G but he will in the NFL? Not sure there’s a market for undersized DL’s who can’t create a pass rush. As with others’ comments, I’m guessing he’s just done and wants to move on but it sounds great to say “I’m declaring for the draft” as opposed to saying “I quit.” Best of luck.
Only had like 8 tackles the whole year ?
Won’t be drafted. Might get a look at a camp … don’t see ever playing on Sunday
Best of luck.
Yes he was but everybody got the additional year of eligibility due to COVID so he could have come back for one more season. All the best to him in the pursuit of his dream to play professionally.
Yep . But I wouldn’t call it “quitting” . He was here for a full career . Football is a tough sport and is very tough to do at that level . Physically, mentally etc . Agree he probably just wants to move on
Let's see. IIRC presorted bulk mail rate back then was about 8 cents per piece. So 100,000 announcements would have cost $800.. But man, presorting was a bitch.
Thank you for being a Knight and good luck moving forward!
Maybe I did the math wrong, but wouldn't it be $8,000? 100,000 * 8 cents = 800,000 cents. Divided by 100 cents per dollar = 8,000 dollars.
It’s something that would have ended up in the little “Transactions” section in the Star Ledger.
Onyechi was hurt quite a bit. Mike was doubled early in the season but that extra 20 pounds he put on seems to have slowed him down.
It seemed very odd to have that kind of weight gain at his stage of career . As yogi would say , “too coincidental to be a coincidence.”
If he can slim down, using one of the "draft specialist trainers" out there that specialize in helping kids get the type of measurables in the select evaluation groups, I could see him getting a shot in a stand-up DE/OLB role (free agent signing), though I'm not a draft expert by any means. His rush this year just didn't get home, though he was more stout with less gimmick rushes against the run. I thought he'd come back, the free Covid year means alot of folk can get that sixth year in. He does have the drive that a special teams approach might lend him in the league, especially in a place that values it, like New England. Toure took alot of CJ's snaps too, though injuries also did take time. Lewis needs to certainly add more good weight too, only guy that thrived on his speed was Toure. All in all, I hope we get CJ back and look forward to seeing which of the youngsters takes up more of the time with Lewis.
Mr. Schnyderite,
Now that Arkansas is playing Penn State in the Outback bowl, I was wondering how I might be able to engage their fans on their message board? I can “like” a comment, but I have insufficient credits to either comment or make an OT post.
Do you have any suggestions?

I promise to be nice.
Working on figuring it out for you, but might take some time.
