Jett Johnson
- Thread starter JWSDawgs
- Start date
The future is brighter without him. He was a liability in pass coverage and always made ankle tackles, never once laid the wood.
He the surest tackler on the team!
Jett is so smart. He has less talent than others, but he makes up for that by being smarter than the average Bear! He knows the play before it happens. Yesterday, fourth and two on our 35, game on the line, Jett beat Frank Gore, Jr. to the hole, and stuffed him two yards in the backfield. The series before that he anticipated the pass and flips it back to Speedy Banks for six points. Jett is a DAWG!
Line backers like him, are not really expected to play much pass coverage.
Ha, he leads the SEC in tackles, last I heard.

He needs to speak with Austin Williams and see how he got his 16 years of eligibility.
Leads the league in tackles. 10+yds downfield. But Ok ok ok , I’ll give you this. He was the greatest senior linebacker to ever play on a Miss State team that lost more games than they won.
Tied for 3rd in the SEC for INTs
double down on stupid.
You don't have to be to know that.
Great instincts, but slower than cold syrup. In the only draft ranking I could find with him in it, he was ranked #961. That means he would go in round 26 of the draft .. unfortunately there are only 7 rounds.**
If you watch him play, his instincts and tackling are great. The NFL is full of those guys. Unfortunately they all run 4.5ish or less at linebacker and Jett runs closer to 4.8. He's a pitcher with amazing command of 4 pitches... and an 82 mph heater. Coaching legend in the making.
It always amazes me how some of our “fans” take pleasure in sh!tting on our own players.
Jett's only problem is speed. Nfl linebackers are extremely fast.Jett is a great college line backer like the days of old. If he was a little faster he would be a sure fire draft pick.
Tell me you’re under 30 without saying your age.
College Football Hall of Famer D. D. Lewis has had that honor since 1967.
That season he was an All-American & SEC Defensive Player of the Year.
State also was 1-9 that season.

I suspected that was the case. The amount of ignorant crap spewed on this board grows daily.Tell me you’re under 30 without saying your age.

To say nothing of the fact that the season is not over yet, but I don't even think this is accurate.
D. D Lewis
Mario Haggan
Dwayne Curry
All of those guys played on ****** teams their senior year. Johnson is not nearly as bad as you say he is, but he's not Lewis or Haggan.
Unbelievable. Jett is all dawg and he’s been great.
no one shites on our team university and Starkville like State fans.
Passing that ball off to the DB was a thing of beauty.
Reminds me of Daniel Boyd
That is what makes a Jett Johnson a Jett Johnson! Instinct, he may not set the land speed record but he knows where to be and what to do when he gets there. That's what makes him special. Also is it not great that we have the top two leading tacklers in the SEC in the core of our defense. Watson and Johnson will go down as two of the all time greats at linebacker at MSU. Hope they both find a way to league.
It just makes sense, State teams have continuously shat on State fans and vice versa. It's a beautiful love/hate relationship. **
Ok but that doesn’t make you original statement any less dumb.
you can be a really good college player and not be an nfl player.
Thanks for posting this. Unlike some on here I'm not looking forward to losing our best tackling linebacker.Tell me you’re under 30 without saying your age.

Only caveat, if our DL got more stops, they would have fewer opportunities. Double-edged sword.
Same guys that can't wait to dispense with our record setting QB.
Running the 3-3 we normally send an LB so they are like a DL player. The reason the 3-3 is successful is due to the free reign by that LB. They try to guess where the ball is going and rush at that point. When they guess right it's beautiful. Not so when they are wrong.
Speaking of NIL, Jett has two businesses that he hawks in ads, but he gives to money to the Tupelo Police Basketball Association and the Youth Football Association at the Park and Rec. not only is he a player, but he’s a good guy. Any criticism you have of him is a waste of time, imho.
Even Jett laughs about his lack of speed. Great Bulldog and great person!
