re: 50 Greatest SEC Players this Century

Jones was recruited as an athlete coming out of high school. Most were recruiting him as a WR but Nutt told him he could play QB. Jones was the better athlete but Manziel was the superior QB. He played in a better system but regardless, he had almost 4,000 yards in the air and 1400 on the ground. Jones couldn't put up with that kind of passing stats with a weaker arm no matter what system he played in. If the NFL scouts thought so highly of him as a QB then he wouldn't switch to WR playing for Jacksonville.

Jones would play WR in any modern offense.
