Reported to be picked up as UDFA.

Surprised he didn't get drafted but not surprised he found a team. Hopefully it works out for him.

This was the biggest surprise for me after combine numbers. Me thinks he will succeed.

Very happy for Jah. Big fan of him for sticking around and being a foundational guy for PJ and the program. Felt like he was here for 9 years, he was such a constant.

B1G officials never calling a hold against him cost him getting drafted

I’d say it had more to do with his production.

If you followed the in game threads last year, it surely happened at least 30 times last season alone ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Agree that Jah got held a lot, disagree that it had any impact on his draft status. In the end there is very little difference between being a late round draft pick and an UDFA in terms of the teams investment in you.

I think the tools are there and he seemed to play hard every play, but maybe there are some technique issues that kept him from being more effective and putting a crimp in his production numbers. Pros are obviously a different level and everyone there has top-drawer tools. I think he was well-coached here, but maybe a different set of eyes can unlock what looks to be there.
