Latest I can tell is Cherrington was cut a year ago by the Seahawks and hasn't actually taken any snaps in a regular season NFL game. I'm pretty sure the NFL saw him as a project that might turn into a decent NT.

I highly doubt the coaches planned for him to be single blocked by every center in the SEC. He should have been a situational guy for us.

Back to Evans, James, and PJ- debate- given the benefit of hindsight I think PJ should have had the job.
Maybe and we also had the issue of Eulls playing out of position with a DC on his way out. How much if anything did that have to do with it? I don't know. I thought PJ last two years were really good but early in his career he struggled. It seems before his junior year a lot of people were down on the fact that Eulls and PJ were first string with Adams second with no Evans and James. Same thing again. They are too talented and it's just Mullen playing upper classman. No body had much of a problem with CJ tho as it was evident he belonged. Of course that was finally the year people began opening their eyes with those two particular players. Evans is gone by spring. And I'm so glad that James is starting to become the man that our staff prides itself on helping in the program as well.
