Among the most versatile and explosive skill position weapons the Texas football program boasted within the last two decades, D.J. Monroe played on the Forty Acres from 2008-2012. He took a redshirt year following a true freshman campaign in 2008 where he only appeared in one game.
From then on out, the Texas Longhorns football program was able to use Monroe in a number of different facets on multiple sides of the ball to maximize that aforementioned versatility and explosiveness. Former Texas head coach Mack Brown was able to get the best out of Monroe when he actually had the ball in his hands, but he arguably should’ve been used more overall.
