Unbelievable superstar

One of my favorite athletes of LSU of all time.


Chad Jones was off the charts special.

Chad Jones is criminally underrated at this point, which would have shocked my 2010 self, as at the time he was beloved at almost TM7 levels.

Dude was a baller and one of the great all time LSU Tigers.

Man forced a game winning fumble against Bama, decapitated an Arkansas player, single handedly saved the 09 MSU game with a punt return TD and a goal line stand, and pitched lights out in the CWS. Legendary.

A great Tiger. A shame that car wreck kept him from an NFL career

Its hard to ever say one player single handedly wins football games because of the nature of the sport but he came a close to that as you can for a defensive player in that 2009 Moo State game

Loved Jones. Sad I never got to see him decapitate people in the NFL like he did at LSU. Will never forget his INT in endzone at the MSU game to preserve our long winning streak over them.

Miles choosing to start Danny McCray over him for awhile limited what he should’ve done for his career at LSU. Another one of Miles’ many frickups.

So good he literally ran down Darren McFadden from behind.

ETA: I had to check youtube to correct my memory. Chad did run down McFadden from behind but got blocked at the last moment and was not able to tackle him. McFadden ran a 4.38 at the NFL combine.

He was an elite football player, but probably my favorite memory of him was when he took the mound for the first time, I think it was against Auburn if I recall correctly. His fast ball had some heat.

I was in that end zone ground level, hardest hit I’ve ever seen that close. Adams had endzone paint in his eyebrows.

I was on that 30 yd line, home side, 50 rows up and heard that hot loud and clear. Hardest hit by far I’ve seen in person.

Jones may be the only person that can claim winning a CWS Championship, CFB National Champion, and NFL World Champion.
Sadly, he never played a down for the Giants as we'll never know what could have been

Freakish athleticism. If not for his car accident, he would’ve been a star in the NFL
