Football career Although Jones was primarily a quarterback at the University of Arkansas and Northside High School in Fort Smith, Arkansas, he was also a member of the Arkansas Razorbacks basketball team. In high school, he was also a sprinter on his high school track and field team. The Jaguars converted him to receiver due to his size (6' 6", 240 pounds), and surprising speed, being timed at 4.37 seconds in the 40-yard-dash, ostensibly to create matchup problems with opposing defenders who are generally far smaller.

A touchdown is the primary method of scoring in American and Canadian football, in which the ball carrier causes the football to break the plane of the end zone, or an eligible receiver catches a forward pass in the end zone, thus earning 6 points for his team (in both...

Jones' 2006 season showed more of his talent, but he is still developing. He was hurt for portions of the season, but finished with 41 catches for 643 yards and 4 touchdowns.
