Fact or Fiction?

I'm betting fiction, but he was a legend

It doesn’t sound too unbelievable…. I’ve done that a few times. He could probably do it easily.

I heard the same thing except that after he threw the ball he would run through the tunnel and catch it on the other side... just what i was told.

Bert Jones was good at dropping back 5 yards and falling down.

JK...that was just some joke a fomer LSU dlineman who player same years as Bert told me. Said he never would have thought that he would go pro. Course our offense was run-run-pass out of i-formation.

Sports Illustrated article that came out while Jones was in Baltimore claimed he was "the best danged rock thrower in Lincoln County."

the Rich Gannon side-arm throw was priceless

I heard him say on a radio interview, that back in his day he could throw from one end zone to the other.

I heard that Wick could stand on the 20 and throw it through the goalpost at the other end of the field.
