I watched the YouTube clip of him speaking at the Little Rock Touchdown Club and he briefly touched on his cocaine arrest back in '08. Not bashing Jones at all - easily in my top five as far SEC quarterbacks go and he seems like a super chill dude. I'm sure some on here were in Fayetteville during his era and I've always heard the talk about him partying his dick off. Just wondering if anyone has a story or two on the subject

to Matt Jones. One of the GOATs

I loved watching Jones play.

I am interested in this topic.

Let the party stories commence.

Pretty badass, the guy played QB in college and was drafted as a WR in the pros.


And in the first round I believe, that's almost unheard of.

Matt Jones was awesome. If he went to a power program he could have lead a team to a National Title.

He was an idiot who threw away a promising NFL career to get high.

What a party story.

I hate that this thread is being shat all over as I was interesting in hearing some stories as well.

Saw him out on Dickson Street in college. He always had an entourage following him around. He never really seemed that messed up when he was out though. Definitely not a wild and crazy drunk like some of the other players that have come through.

I worked at a liquor store for a bit in college and sold him a 12 pack of Miller Lite at around midnight the night before an early morning game his senior year. That's my CSB Matt Jones moment.

Dude was one of those video game freak shows too. I remember going HAM with him in NCAA and then doing the same in Madden with him at WR

My son attended college when Matt was there.He said he went to a frat party Matt was at and Matt was playing video games.He thought Matt was a nerd....ha

That's all I got on that,but once Matt got away from home and made his own money,he may have made some bad decisions...I know I did...

One mistake can mark us for life and erase all good things in some folk's eyes.

I won't judge him as he seems to being well these days.
