Dotson is preseason TD King
- Thread starter Richard the LIONhearted
- Start date
I think we're going to see Jahon Dotson in more than 4 games this year. I think he's going to be really, really good.

Really impressive given all the talent on O.
I was expecting Shorter to be the instant impact freshman at the WR position, but I’m not going to complain if it’s Dotson instead.
I'll settle for another Kenny Jackson type career. JD just might have that "it" factor.
MR. AUGUST. 
Kidding. Dotson and Shorter will give opposing defenses fits. It will be fun to watch.

Does Tommy Flynn Sr. have a son (Tommy Flynn, Jr.) so Dotson can burn him just like Kenny did to Tom Sr.?
BWAHAHAHAHAH!
This kid is another Derrick Williams. They are about the same size and both are just natural football players. They may not have the measurables of the perfect receiver, but all they do is make plays. Like Williams, Dotson could be an impact player on punt returns. Give him the ball in a WR screen or on an end around and watch him break a big play.
Looks like he ran a ton of WR/bubble screeens in high school and looked unstoppable on those plays. Should be an electric playmaker with the ball in his hands.
Yeah, and listed at 175#, hope he's strong enough, because it sure sounds like he has speed, route running ability, agility, and great hands.
D-Wills probably didn't meet expectations, but he had a pretty darn good career.
His senior year Derrick had 4 TDs receiving, 3 rushing, 1 punt return, and 2 KO returns -- 10 TDs total, not Saquon-esque, but pretty darn good indeed.
He is really quick. When Whitehall played Nazareth last season, they doubled him on every play. It got so ridiculous, Nazareth split him really far to one side, then played 10 on 9 to the other side of the field. The final score was W 51 N 49. The strategy worked, I guess. But it was really hard to watch.
It seemed like he was better as a freshman than was in later years. I wonder if our strength training at the time played a role, or maybe others caught up to him.
He was spectacular until he broke his arm. Seemed like that derailed him somehow.
His freshman and senior seasons are among the 4, 5 best in the 2000s era. His catch, avoid, touchdown vs NW in '05 is legendary and vital to that team's success. I think with his vision and cutback ability he might have been better suited as a RB, but he arrived at a time when we literally had zero WRs. He was excellent in the return game to boot. Electrifying player.
We didn't win a national title and he didn't have a big time NFL career. That's the worst I can say about him.
He didn't play with the same reckless abandon you could say, but he was still very good.
I forgot about that somehow. And it happened against Michigan in the extra 2 second game.
