Negative. Not a leader type, not a committed worker that would motivate the guys around him.

Everyone else that recruited him wanted him as a WR, only Nutt gave him the chance to play QB, and Jones' crazy ability to improvise and make plays saved the bacon many,many,many times. The team got put into many of those comeback and multiple OT situations by Jones not being focused until it got to those pressure situations or needing to make a miraculous comeback.

Unfortunately I don't have any party stories of the guy. I worked in a club in town during that time so I wasn't on Dickson too much.

Amazing athlete that played out of position.

He would literately outrun guys who had angles on him.
It didn't help that he had very long strides so it looked as if he wasn't moving very fast.
