Jones:
  • Many don't know you averaged over 7 ypc for his career and over 9 yards every time he touched the ball in your career. Congratulations on your career. Thank you.
  • Do you have any regrets going to Arkansas where you shared carries with Darren? Darren said you could have starred at any college you chose to attend. Oh no, oh no. I picked a very good school in Arkansas and I am happy with that decision.I never thought of it like that. My plan was to go in, be the best and have as much fun playing as possible.
  • You and Darren are very close to the same size and yet he is considered a power back and you a speed back. Darren uses his power, I like to use my feet.
  • Many don't know what a fine receiver you are. Would you like to be involved in the passing game at the pro level? I'm a versatile guy. If they want to use me in the passing game I can do it. I can do anything on the field outside of playing the line.
  • Several teams share RB carries in the NFL. Would you like to be in that type of system in the NFL? It would be a good thing to share a position as they can't key on one guy. That's the way it should be.
  • Many have projected you to be chosen in the 20's in this draft. Do you follow those things? No sir, I have no idea where I'll go. I've seen estimates of late first round but I don't follow those. I'm just getting ready for the combine and going to work for the team that takes me.
  • Many have said the Cowboys may have an interest in you. Would you like to play for the Cowboys? I loved watching the Cowboys as a young kid in Oklahoma. I was very inspired by the Star on that helmet. It would be a childhood dream for me and I would never do anything to tarnish the Star. I love the Cowboys.
  • You are working out in Dallas right now with Michael Johnson. What are you working on? I'm working on my speed and getting the techniques down to get better and faster.
  • Thanks for having me on.

I am so happy we took Jones over Mendenhall

Can you explain why, Nors? I guess I missed it in the other thread. Just don't like Mendenhall?

Gotta like the kid. It's almost a shame for him that he had to play in the shadows of DMac for 3 years, but he seems to have no problems with it. If he hadn't been in a situation where he was compared to DMac all this time we would realize how good he really is.
