  Quindell Johnson's goodbye to Memphis seemed well arranged in November. From walking out pregame for senior day festivities to saying "no comment" postgame about future plans. Against Tulane, his hometown team, Johnson had nine tackles and an interception in the Tigers' 33-28 win. But the "no comment" was less being coy and more unsure because Johnson started to waver about being selected in the NFL Draft. "I knew what I had done and what I was capable of doing," Johnson said. "But then, I had those doubts. If I come back, I knew I could get my draft grade up." The senior safety announced his return on Dec. 30 on Twitter.

The decision was partly aided by talking with the NFL Draft advisory board, who wanted to see a better 40-yard time and improvement in man-to-man coverage. But Johnson, a two-time All-AAC safety, also considered what his parents taught him in New Orleans. Finish what you start. Be loyal where you are. Trust things will always work out. "My Dad told me coming into Memphis that no matter the outcome, just stick it out. You just never know what happens," said Johnson, who had 104 tackles and 11 pass breakups last season. Loyalty was practiced early on in the Johnson household. Quindell and his twin brother Kendell played for the same AAU basketball program from 5 years old until high school. Their father Darell backed up his words by coaching his sons during their 10-plus years in the program. - Memphis Commercial Appeal
