underscoring character and attitude

snipped:

Mother, James-Mickens: “We taught him accountability and responsibility for his actions. It’s stayed with him most of his life. … He’s always been a good decision maker. I’m not saying he’s perfect, but for the most part, he’s got a good head on his shoulders.”• Tennessee coach, Butch Jones: “He has great demeanor about himself. When I talk about consistency and performance, that’s Ja’Wuan. He’s never too high, never too low. You know what you’re getting with Ja’Wuan each and every day. He’ll always have a smile on his face.”
• Agent, Bill Johnson: “He has all the tools to be productive and exceptional in the league. There is not a single red flag that I could uncover, or anyone could share. He has great family upbringing without being soft.”
‘Right kind of stuff’
Any doubts about his toughness should have been erased in January at the Senior Bowl, an all-star showcase for NFL-bound prospects. James was an excellent collegiate player, starting 49 consecutive games. He earned second-team all-Southeastern Conference honors.
Still, James was viewed as a second- or third-round pick, in a tier below the elite. He knew the Senior Bowl was his chance to stand out. Fate had other plans. He sprained his knee — an injury that would have knocked most anyone out of commission.
“He wanted to keep playing. [Senior Bowl executive director] Phil Savage had to take his helmet away,” said Johnson, who, along with business partner Pat Dye, also represents Tannehill. “As a player and a competitor, he wanted to push forward. I knew right then, he was the right guy with the right kind of stuff.”

While it may come across as slanted as a fluff piece, it still rings true that he is a high character guy. You can see it in how he comes across. I think he will be a leader and a positive influence. He will not be a dumbass meathead. Couple him with Jarvis Landry who doesn't tolerate poor work habits and the offensive huddle will have much better character. Plus Billy Turner is tenacious. This is not just me being a rosé colored homer. These are actual traits the Dolphins believe they drafted in these guys. Contrast that with what we've seen which does not require much further discussion. Now look at the character of the teams that have won consistently and you can see what Miami is trying to do.
