His agenda was to play receivers from the Tidewater area because that’s where he recruits,” Jared explained. “I went home that summer and told my parents I wanted to transfer. My mom (Jewell) said, ‘No. You’ve got two more semesters. Graduate from UVA.’ I said, ‘OK. Who knows? This coach might be an awesome guy.’ He wasn’t. Coaches can manipulate your mind and tell lies. They can hide behind the program and make a kid look like an outcast. I’m so thankful I learned that at UVA. I’m on a path and I had to experience some adversity. I think that was God’s way of humbling me and keeping me hungry.”

Jared’s a role model,” Darrell said of his only son, who presented him for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008. “He’s a leader. He’s a moral kid, a sharp kid. If Jared was all about the pros, he would’ve left UVA a year earlier. But he can play. He’s got Green speed. He doesn’t have Green hands. He has great hands. He loves the game. I didn’t let him play until the ninth grade. My mama didn’t let me play until the 11th grade. I came to the NFL fresh and hungry. Jared’s fresh and hungry.”

London recruiting pitch of immediate playin time to his 757 guys are starting to come back and haunt him...

Thanks for posting, that was an interesting read. Interesting take by a non Hokie on the 757 reference, which is clear.

Forgot one major point we only had one wr from the 757 last year (Tim Smith) and recruited none.not to mention he was so talented he went on to be the 6th leading receiver at southern university.
