Not only did he appear dispassionate in interviews, he clocked in the high 4.5s in the 40 — slower than expected — and only repped 225 pounds nine times at 221 pounds, poor for a safety of his size irrelevant of whether baseball has affected his conditioning.
This is the key item that scouts are discovering. Perfect way to describe his play most of the time on the football field. To me he always looked like he was lacking a true passion and/or aggressiveness to excel as a big time defensive player.

this is pretty pathetic...I think Trindon did 10 reps.

i don't know why in the hell he didn't stay here, play baseball this season .. see where he goes in the draft .. and then use football as his bargaining chip if anything ...

i just think jones' future is in baseball, not football .. i guess he just wanted the big money fast and didn't wanna toil in the minors or something .. but the notoriety that he got last year in the CWS would have been a huge publicity springboard for this baseball season for him ...

Yes, and moved to linebacker.

people just don't get this .. a big play in a 7-7 game in the 2nd quarter that turns into a 35-7 blow out is just as huge as one in the final seconds of a 2-point game .. momentum and emotion are huge in football ...

not a doubt in my mind about this...who the hell is advising him?
Left handed, throwing 90+ with an above average breaking ball, not to mention his intimidating presence on the mound. He was a sure thing high draft pick in baseball.

you bring the nasty 92MPH stuff he was bringing from the left side .. someone's gonna grab you in MLB ... he had never really proven himself in the field or at the plate yet .. but he could have rick ankiel'ed it down the road if pitching didn't work out ..

in all seriousness, i truly believe that chad jones has actually made the mistake of buying in to his own hype.

i can't figure out who sold jones on doing this ... the only thing was the "hurry up and get into the NFL draft because of the potential 2011 lockout angle" .. but, still .. did chad really think he was going to be high to mid first rounder ?? he said his first love was baseball .. but i guess there might have been a scholly issue with him being on scholarship for football .. then playing baseball and then never playing football again possibly this year .. that's all i can see ..

There is a rumor that he needs Tommy John surgery. Do not know if true so don't crucify me!
Posted on 3/3/10 at 9:40 am to LSUPERMAN
well, if that is true, that would explain him jumping to football and would also explain his horrible showing in the bench press at the combine .. i could see his camp wanting to keep that under wraps if true ..

Mainieri said in the pre-game interview for the season opener that Jones had hurt his arm and wouldnt have been able to pitch this year
