Leodis Flowers to Derek Brown to Calvin Jones to Lawrence Phillips…
They just kept getting better back then.

Calvin Jones has passed
- Thread starter bigboxes
- Start date
Yeah, if I remember right it was Derek Brown who was the shiftier runner between the two. Both great backs.
What a sad day.
Emmett Johnson has the shiftiness and burst of Phillips. Just not the top-end speed and power. Calvin was a straight-forward speed back with some power.
Trust me, I get that, but I was going with a progression…and aint nobody better than LP.
Emmett has not one part of the game Lawrence Phillips had .I am 60 LP
Was the best RB in Nebraska that I saw bar none.
Calvin had a brief NFL career but had a key block on Desmond Howard’s kickoff return TD for the Pack in Super Bowl XXXI
Trying to tackle him as a sophomore when he was a senior was not high on my list of things to do.
Gonna pray the words I type here... And I'm not a public prayer guy. I'm definitely a Christian man; I admit I sometimes don't act like it.
From what I hear from media, CJ was suffering so much that he was in his basement trying to get warm! CO poisoning from a space heater.
How sad is it that a legend has to go downstairs to feel warm??? This is so wrong.
God bless him in your wonderful works, Amen.

I think the broader message is that if you know somebody. Anybody, who needs help. You be a good neighbor and reach out.
This is going to challenge me greatly myself. If I can do it, this whole board can too!
RIP CJ

If more people start, or continue, to do that then his death might be able to help others. A sad loss of life, still. Thank you sir for posting the prayer and these words above.
I just prayed to The Lord. The one only Lord. Jesus.
Not much first time. Definitely a matter of a months sorry I missed you

It tears me up when I hear stories like this. I have a house in O sitting empty waiting for the closing.
. Probably not more than 20 blocks from where he died.
