Matt freaking Jones!! That dude was johnny football before there was johnny football. He was a athletic freak that was stuck with a piece of shite coach that had no idea what he had or what to do with him. If he would have played for a Malzahn, Sumlin, or Meyer he would have set SEC college records probably not broken for a very long time.

In a lot of ways Matt Jones was the anti-Johnny Manziel though. Manziel had all the swagger and force of will, just not any elite athletic abilities. Matt had plenty of swagger but the ambition and drive of a wet slug. He was lucky to be born with absolute elite athleticism, I'm not even sure he ran all that hard at the combine. However, he was drafted in the first round at a position he had never played I'm not sure the NFL underrated him...probably quite the opposite in hindsight.
