D.J. has an awful lot of potential and yes, he does remind me of Manningham just a bit. With that being said, Manningham's story is unlike none that I've ever seen before, and teh good part for me is that it's not over yet. D.J. has the tools to develop into a nice one, but at this stage in Manningham's career (5 years ago), not only did everybody in Ohio know who he was, but he already had the Ohio State's, Michigan's, & Florida's ready to offer him a scholarship.
Manningham motivates D.J. both on & off the field. He's (Mario) not the person that some tried to make him out to be. He works hard and doesn't hype himself up to be more than he's not. D.J. is the exact same way, and he's learning that if he wants to be as great as the ones that have come before him, he's going to have to work hard all year round to make his dreams a reality. I'm not going to judge D.J. by what Mario accomplished, but I think that he (D.J.) can become an elite player sooner than later.
