Back when your college QB could snort coke and no one gave a shite.

Matt Jones would have been ungodly had he come around 10 years later after teams had stopped pigeonholing athletic QBs into pocket passers.

He played WR for Van Buren high school and transferred to Northside high school in Fort Smith as a QB.

Oklahoma wanted him as a WR but Arkansas offered him a chance at QB.

Loved watching Jones play - those long strides ate up yardage like nobody else

He reminds me of a taller and bigger Lance Alworth.

We have some Nutt hating fans who thought he should have been a wide receiver. Replays say different….

Loved Matt Jones on the Jags. He was one of our only good players at the time, but he liked Coke to much.

Pity. All he does now is hang out in Fort Smith dive bars

He was more into basketball than football and didn't put in the work necessary to be successful. He wasn't disciplined at all at Arkansas and that carried over to Jacksonville. Jack Del Rio had problems with him.

So you think he shouldn’t have been qb at Arkansas?
