When a player promises to be the best in the country next year as a team, that’s a me guy? Deshean is an awesome talent that is confident in his skills and should be. He has done what any good leader does, lead by performance. WIthout him, Cal Football would not be anywhere near as successful. His confidence has electrified this intellectual and at times anti-football environment. As a CAL and NFL Alum i appreciate what he has done, which is lead CAL football to a winning tradition.

ps- Steve Smith was not seen as such a great guy at points in his career as well. Mr. Jackson is a young maturing man that will grow and mature. He deseves ultimate success, and ‘character’ arguments or judgments should be the job of his parents NOT fairweather fans!

I’m not sure what the deal is here. They say they’re worried about his size, then show concern when he’s probably bulking up… I don’t think he’s sitting around, getting fat before the draft.

Of course us fans know way different… we never get ANY SHRED of evidence of him being selfish at all…from his teammates and coaches, his character has NEVER been questioned…

I think with such a playmaker that wears #1 its easy to believe the SC and UCLA fan… especially if you’re not a Cal fan and don’t follow the team every week…. But for those of us that actually have to seem him all the time… we know better… he’s a great kid and very humble.. almost shy.
