His arm actually was pretty damn strong for what he was. He was a true dual threat way ahead of his time.
Put him on some of today's teams and he is a Heisman winner. That guy was a freak of nature and one of Arkansas' all time greats. You really should stop bad mouthing him like this.. Super rare talent. He was like a combo of Cam Newton and Johnny Manzeil basically. One of the most exciting players i have ever watched stuck on a bad team.

No he wasn't. He said that he injured his throwing arm in high school. He had the option of surgery but he was told that surgery could weaken his arm and so he passed. He was never a dual threat or his stats would say otherwise and even in that time his passing states were below average.
Newton and Manziel were much better passers than Jones. Jones only advantage was his speed but that still wasn't enough to win any big games unlike the other who were better balanced.
Unless Jones switched to WR before the draft, he was going undrafted and one of those concerns was his arm strength. That doesn't sound like a heisman trophy contender on any team. Jones was an athlete that played QB but not a true QB.
