Wonderful story. As a father with young children it's great to be reminded to do everything you can to positively support your kids even when it doesn't seem appreciated. As they mature they will understand. Stick to your guns, and don't let them easily quit.

Exactly, a parent should never support quitting in anyway shape or form, bc quitting is the easiest thing a person can do!!!

When my son wanted to quit Boy Scouts, I told him there were only 2 ways to get out of Scouts. He asked what they were. I told him the ways were to get his Eagle rank or the 2nd way was if he died prior to that, then he would be out. He didn't like my answer, but the night of the Eagle ceremony he came over to me and thanked me for not letting him quit. I had forgotten, but he hadn't. It made him a better man, and kudos to Jadar's parents for their toughness. He is a better man because of that tough love.

They think they hate you at that impact moment, but be sure they will thank you and be glad you were their parents later. Tough love has that effect on kids later in life, when that lesson is making a huge difference in their life!!! Quitting is the easiest thing in the world to do, dumb A$SES do it everyday.

What will be awesome to see is how Jadar passes that example on to his own kids one day. His dad planted a seed and in this day and age I hope that seed grows. Good luck and God bless the Johnson family and go Tigers!

What a nice story. Loved hearing Jadar's speech at the celebration, so glad he recognized the sacrifices made by his family to help him reach his dreams.

Awesome, I'm pulling for the Johnson family dreams to come through for all of them, Go Jadar, and put your best plays forward from here on out your FB career. The easiest part is getting on a team, well it's easier than staying on a team after you get there. Now that he has his family and Tiger Nation behind him to be an NFL star, he will have to work even harder than before. At Clemson Jadar, when you felt lazy, you didn't have to worry about Dabo firing you. But in the NFL, they are always looking for a player that can do it better than you, and that is the #1 reason you must out work everyone on your team. Good luck to you Jadar, and never forget your family along the way!!!

Jadar is the best interview on the team. He speaks without

cliche or pretense and its never boring. Go back and listen to some of his interviews with Roy on wccp. He's very genuine. It got him in trouble a couple of times though (i.e. saying JT Barrett wasn't the best QB they faced, or that he would slam Lamar Jackson if he tried to leap frog him) but thats the curse of giving honest answers. Its refreshing. Most probably thought he was just talking junk but if you had ever listened to any of his other interviews you knew that wasn't the case.
ITs surprising that he was the quiet kid growing up.

We hope and pray for him and his family.
I think I remember Dabo talking to his mom and telling her not to let him come home, but that might have been another player.

I love Jadar's interviews.....

He was always so direct. He always had a smile on his face. Hard for me to believe he used to be so shy. Amazing what Clemson and the football program can help do!!
I can't wait to watch him in the NFL. Should be fun!
