article from 2001 about Matt Jones. I love the last sentence by coach Nutt (he he he)

From the Arkansas Gazette

"He’s got the versatility to play a lot of positions in our league, with quarterback probably being one of them also," said Washington Redskins offensive assistant Jack Burns, a former Arkansas graduate assistant. "He’s got a great upside and can do a lot of things to help a football team."


I wonder what the skins are thinking with this guy?

Would it be nuts to take him at 9? I know all along I've been saying mike williams, but when you look at both of them together, side by side. Jones is taller, 25 pounds heavier, faster, jumps higher, and has better hands by all accounts!

Ninth overall is probably high, since we'd convert him to a position he's never played before. At 9 overall I think you want to be pretty darn sure of what you're getting. This guy has lots of promise, but in the end you really don't know what kind of WR he's going to be.

I think the Skins would have to do some maneuvering to get him. They'd have to trade down to grab picks later in the 1st round and grab a 2nd rounder.

I agree Ninth pick is to high for a guy who is a project at best. yes I agree he is a freak and is an amazing athelete. I have witnessed it time n again whenever my longhorns have gone up again arkansas. He was a one man show for that team!!
If we can somehow get a 2nd round pick we should definetly get him then if he is available. I don't seem him playing TE as he is not interested in playing that position. I think he opens the game for us with some trick plays especially in the red zone!!
I can't wait for the season to begin!! HTTR
