(S24) - PT 4 - Trial by Fire

[UberBJ]

There’s no doubt about it, Djibutee McJimmerson was a stud in college. He absolutely wrecked in big games and could put the team on his back. Unfortunately, his rookie season in the ISFL has been a bit of a gut check. He’s still producing, but everyone else is just as good as him so he’s working to improve and rise above this next level of competition. He’s no longer the fastest or strongest player on the gridiron, but reports have seen him in the gym every week to get his stamina and strength up so he can go the whole game as a 3 down player.

One of the biggest shifts for McJimmerson was that he was no longer the focal point of the offense, but instead a role player. The targets have gone down a fair bit and he’s been asked to block much more. He was on record as saying “I love laying out those silly linebackers”, so I think it’s fair to say he’s embraced his new role. He was leading the league in TE pancakes for the first half of the season and is currently in second place. While the targets have lowered, he is still a redzone threat as seen by his high ratio of TD’s to catches. 

Overall the season has not gone poorly for McJimmerson, but has been one of realization and metamorphosis for the new mascot of Captain George’s Seafood Buffet.
