Now JJ Reddick, as much as I hated playing against him was a dominant force in the ACC.
Though it is worth pointing out that he's named after Juilus Erving and Walt Fraizer, hence his name Juilus Fraizer Peppers.

His last game in the tournament he put up 21 and 10. He was so raw because it truly was a hobby.
I think if he focused on basketball he could have been a star.
Now on the making 10 times more in the NFL. Have you seen NBA contracts? There are role players making 10 million a year. There are guys who barely leave the bench who make 5. His longevity is impressive but typically an NBA career is much longer than an NFL career.
