He was best friends with one of my roomates so we have been watching him every chance we get. The funny thing is half the time the guy he is supposed to block gets the tackle, or he just runs then looks around confused. :lol:

Still lucky him.

DeDe is a poster child for the juco system. After playing HS football with him back in Broken Arrow, and seeing him struggle because of 1) persistent injury and 2) an offense that didn't showcase his talents (the flexbone sucks...at every level), it's good to see his talents are finally realized. He was always a hard workder, he's a good guy off the field, and he deserves what he's reaping right now with the Colts.

Lindenwood put him on the field in just about any position they could. I don't know if he really ever got a break during the games, and he always seemed to be in the middle of the play.
