Im curious to know the opinions of some. He received first-round tender that should speak high volumes about how this organization feels about him.

DJ has always been one of those real interesting players to me who shows both flashes talent and playmaking ability at times. But he also displays a lack of consistency, and is not a fundamentally sound football player. He makes too many mental errors on the field. That side has got the best of him.

Im just wondering if his performance against the Broncos and his playmaking ability throughout the year was a good enough sign or indication to convince the coaching staff that they'll give him his chance to start. And so they should. He is arguably a lot more talented then Mays and Williams and is one of the few guys we have on defense that can actually make plays. Plus, I'd like to see how he performs or is utilized under Crennel.

He has disappointed me thus far into his career simply because I believe he needs to work more on the fundamental aspects of his game and has to be mentally tougher as a player. Could he do this by maturing and by being with the right coach? I just think its clear he is not a sound player, but hopefully that can come with time. I hope he fully develops and Im glad the Chiefs didn't give up on him.
