Great job Colt. We've both had the pleasure of meeting Chris' parents and both are great people.

Awesome interview Colt. I met Chris and his parents at a practice before the season. His mom was filming the QB drills so CJ could practice them at home. (Ex: standing with your back to the target at 10 yards and quickly turning around and firing, then taking a step forward and doing it again at 11 yards etc.) His family was very nice and let me just say this kid is every bit of 6'5"... He's freaking HUGE!
Really excited to see him play some day in the future in the new BS.

He is much broader that Swoopes.
I still remember Brian and I both thinking there was no comparison between the two. Chris could likely carry 250 if they wanted him too.

Sounds like Briles has found his next great QB. I really appreciate that Coach Briles seems to find not just great athletes but also solid citizens.

Well done, Colt.
I'm really excited to see Johnson after Briles has the chance to coach him for a little while. he's got absolutely all the physical tools to be really good, and it sounds like he's really strong above the shoulders as well. If Briles can help him put it all together, then i think he'll be really special.

It is my earnest, heart-felt belief that the latter enhances the former in nearly every case.

strong character usually breeds strong work ethic (and visa versa), so i completely agree with you here, BBL.

^^^ did you read "shortstop?" That's what I consider most athletic position in baseball!?
We've got a shortstop QB that's dang 6'5" and is capable of being 250 lbs!!!

I'm afraid of how big Kaz will have Chris in a year or two. It won't be fat either.

when i read shortstop, i immediately thought he's got great feet, especially at that size. i'd argue that CF is, overall, the most athletic position in baseball, but SS is probably much harder to play, ie more SS could transition to CF than the other way around.

He'd be a monster to take down. That would be a lot of fun to have at the QB position.

Great family, this is why baylor is a great choice for any recruit that is thinking of baylor as a home. Not only do you have great coaches and fans, but you will play with some of the best players in college football and know that you kid will be around kids and families with great character. My son and Chris have formed a good friendship and it sets my mind at ease to know that he will be around kids such as Chris.

I sat up behind Chris and Johnny at the Kansas State football game with Brian and it was cool watching then interact together.

it'll be fun, in a few years, to watch them "interact" when we score touchdown, after touchdown, after touchdown, after touchdown...
