Dude hasn't made a tackle in 3-4 years and you think he can just enter into the NFL at full speed?
Where in my post did I say he did? Fact is that he played football for LSU his entire time at LSU. He didn't play very much baseball.
Really, blatantly wrong on the 4 innings pitched??? You're right. He threw 6.2 innings in 2009. I see you edited that comment out of your post.
He clearly had the talent to make it in the NFL based on what he did in his career at LSU. You can't say he is an MLB cailber pitcher now because he threw 7 innings 4 years ago. We don't even know if he had the talent to make it then.

Well, he was drafted out of high school...he clearly had the talent and to act like just because he pitched for 6 innings in one season means that he clearly wouldn't have kept it up is just an asinine belief.
His fastball was low-mid 90s with a slider. That's from years of practice (he always said baseball was his first and favorite sport). Barring injury, he would have made it to the majors as a late relief guy.

2 things
Chad was a star baseball outfielder and could hit the ball a mile. He only pitched after throwing a few during practice and his catcher running to CPM and telling him he had to see Chad throw. He could play pro ball as an outfielder or get a little more work in and work his way into a rotation. His natural talent alone will get him onto a AA team.
Second, for those of you doubting he can play football, this is Chad freakin Jones. Half man, half predator. People overcome injuries and adversities everyday and achieve their dreams. If he is healthy enough to run a 4.8 40, then that means his leg is operating correctly, he just needs to get more strength back. Good Luck Chad, and WHO DAT!!
