Is he that type of athlete?

Don't think he's JoJo-level, but he's a good athlete.

No one is going to step in and replace JoJo right off the bat. However, I believe that we have some decent options and can scheme his replacement a bit. My bigger concern is replacing Daniels. Kid is a monster and WAY under-valued IMO.

Completely agree. It took him a couple of years to get his strength and endurance ready for playing at this level, but he's been terrific this year.
Edited to add two things: 1) Daniels is listed as a Junior. Whew. And 2) Polar Bear. 😎

They built some of their scheme around the ability of Domann. Will be interested to see the adjustment

I doubt Daniels wants to come back for 6th season.

Agreed them being back another year really helps bring the young ones along. Two good guys to learn from.

Yes, but there are more than capable bodies behind them. JoJo will be tough to replace because he is such a hybrid. Daniels, IMO, will be so hard to replace because we don't have anyone with his body type to plug the middle like him...

If Daniels and Martinez come back next year this team is absolutely loaded. Yes losing Jojo and safties and maybe CTB is big but we are close to just reloading now. Say what you want about Frost but his roster management is very good. His in game management is a lot better and play calling has become very good. He quietly has become a decent to good head coach, not sure if Alberts has something to do with this.

Mauga-Clements? Haven't seen much of him but when he played he seemed to be flying around and had a nose for the ball.

IIRC Javin Wright is also being prepped for a JoJo type role along with Gifford.

I bet the chances of Adrian coming back are about 20%. He's played a lot of football and taken a beating over 4 years. There are going to be a few NFL teams that take a chance at him if he comes out this year. QB is really my only concern for next year.
hasn't Wright now had 2 blood clots? would guess he is done with football if that's the case.

This one is a forgotten one. I have no personal knowledge of how he's looking right now, but it would not surprise me if he was a beefed up version of what he came in as. He's the type of athlete Jojo is, too. I really like Gifford, too. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see em both on the field, one at safety and one at Jojos spot.
