The last two games alone have probably shot him from 3rd team All-SBC to a lock for 1st team honors. Would like to see him get 2-3 more picks in the regular season because I'm sure that would put him on some All-America teams.

He better get them in the next two games because GaSo only passes twice a game

Actually, Georgia Southern is averaging 23.4 passes per game. Surprised me too.

I was about to say GSU is throwing the ball a little more so he could get one against them. Usually 7-8 picks is an automatic All-America honor and for a guy who had to sit and wait his turn he sure has earned it. Jones has worked hard and been an underrated player for us.

No one will be passing anywhere near him the rest of the season. Like Duck

You would think they would stop. Jones is better than Duck by a little bit. We have been fortunate to get better and better corners gradually. I just hope at least one of our two starting corners comes back. Both can and, if so, should be the best CB duo in the SBC for 2022.
