BEST QUOTE FROM JUWAN JOHNSON'S 2024 SEASON:
"It's definitely been a trying season I think with all that's happened, starting off hot and then losing seven straight, then losing a coach, and then battling back, finally getting our win and then just kind of going through the ebbs and flows, the ups and downs. It definitely hasn't been ideal for us, the fans, but it's a test of our character just us fighting through to the end. That's the one thing about it. I mean that's just life, you go through ups and downs. It just really defines who you are as a person, how you carry yourself through it all. I mean it's not easy but it definitely tests yourself and your faith and your character through it all. It's really how do you respond after going through all this. Do you sulk in it in the offseason or do you go into the offseason working? I know what I'm going to do."
