Thanks for the memories, Pendelton

I've loved watching Jordan Pendelton play over the last several years. I'm very sad that his career is now over, and I thought it would be great if we could post some great pictures from Pendelton as an honor to his career tragically cut short by injuries.

Amen. I feel the same way about JP that I did about Staley. Amazing athlete. Best player on our D. Might have gone down as best LB EVER at BYU had he been able to stay healthy. He certainly had the talent to be the greatest LB at BYU, and the smarts. Too bad he couldn't stay on the field. Loved watching him play.

What was the injury?



Too bad. What are his chances of making an NFL roster?

His best option now will be as a free agent, but with the rigor the NFL Doctors use to evaluate talent, it is unlikely that JP makes it thru a physical. Unfortunate.

Knee injury.

I think I missed something, I have worked the past 4 weekends (also the night of the TCU game), I did not see the games, what happened ?

This came as a surprise. It was not obvious in the game and I don't recall hearing of it on post-game. Pendleton had the potential to be the best player ever on BYU defense. His wheels just kept falling off. Too bad. He deserved a better fate.

In the presser today, Bronco said the injury happened in the TCU game, but because JP kept playing they don't know on what play he hurt himself.

Ugh...that sucks.

Thanks Hawk. This kid really deserves the praise. He wasnt a saint early on, but fought hard, hung in there, worked through a bunch of adversity, worked like a Jerry Rice to stay game-ready, notwithstanding the injuries. Best to Jordan. Thanks for the amazing play at BYU.

My personal favorite:

I loved watching him play, too. :)

Nerd,The picture that I posted of JP absolutely destroying Jordan Wynn in '09 is the one that I laughed at when I saw him lay the wood!

copycat. :P

Thanks Hawk - always on the cutting edge - great thread & tribute! Pendleton had tremendous athletic ability! An awesome warrior! Huge heart! Tragic ending.

I hope we find out what happens when you mix a Pendelton with a Collie. Here's to hoping Jordan has at lease five boys. We need to start setting more of our star players up with other star players' sisters...

Copycat, hmmm? Oh is that link you posted the same video? lol
