So slow? Are we remembering the same person? 6'6 242 running a 4.37 40 sure isn't slow. These are NFL Combine numbers




That was what he meant. Jones was incredibly fast, but he always looked like he was taking a leisurely jog. You'd see him out there puttering along and realize there aren't any defenders in the picture because they are 20 yards behind him and losing ground on every stride.

I have said some uncomplimentary things about Gus Malzahn but I honestly think Matt Jones would have won the Heisman with Gus coaching him. We had enough weapons on offense around him that Arkansas would have been a nightmare to defend.

Guess it depends on what position Gus had him in...

And if Gus already had a starter. Ole Gustavo plays favorites over talent.

As an opposing fan it would piss me off to no end too.
