Trail on google goes cold after 2016 or so. I know he was a free agent and was released by Cincinnati, but after that, nada.

I saw today that he was posting stuff on Twitter about LSU pro day.

Damn shame what happened to him.

Would've been a really good safety in the league I think.

I was talking about him today.

My sister bought a new car which has a firewall and the engine breaks away in head-on collisions. She said she didn't want an engine that will just break apart.

Then I showed her CJ's leg that was on the brakes when the engine came down on it.

She likes that feature now. Still, it was hard for me to see Chad so messed up again.

Will never forget him single handedly winning us that MSU game.

Also didn't he try out the minors in baseball recently? Guess that was short lived.

This is my favorite Chad Jones moment. Look how much higher he jumped than the other guys. What an incredible athlete.

It's crazy how when it came draft time Chad Jones and Demetrius Byrd both got in bad car accidents that messed up their pro career. At the end of the day I'm glad and I know they are both glad to still be alive right now after that.

I saw Chad Jones at a Pelicans game during the 2017 season. He was sitting courtside with Antonio Blakeney. So, he appeared to be doing pretty good as of 2017.

I remember when he decapitated Joe Adams. Good times.

I talked to him last week. Saw him out at a club. Amazing athlete and even better human being.

I believe he is an assistant H.S. coach somewhere as he was recently interviewed a few months ago. Damn proud that he was a Tiger!

I was at the first game he pitched. I'll never forget that...we were all looking at each other confused as hell

Then after we saw him throw that first slider:

If i recall it was a freak accident, he wasn't under the influence or anything. Really just makes you sick... loved the Dreads of Doom
