Forget for a moment that Jerry is a Arkansas guy and would draft every player from Arkansas if he could but when Jerry gets this horny about a prospect you can almost guarantee he will reach for him. See Quincy Carter and Tony Dixon.

Quote:

"He made himself a lot of money today," one scout said. "He might have moved up into the first round." Jerry Jones, owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, didn’t want to speculate where Matt Jones may be drafted, but said he helped himself immensely with his performance at the Combine.
"Well, by golly, I tell you what, we might find a place for him," Jerry Jones said with a big grin when asked if he’d like to see Matt Jones playing in Dallas. "No one in Arkansas has to doubt whether or not it would be a good feeling for me to see him in a Cowboys uniform."
Jerry Jones, who played guard for the Razorbacks and was a senior on their 1964 11-0 team, is a major booster of the program and attends as many Arkansas games as possible.
"I’ve watched Matt play his entire career and I watched him use that speed, and so it would have surprised me had it not been there [on Sunday]," Jerry Jones said. "But it’s good to see it confirmed. I’d never seen a stop watch on him."

Quote:

"What was impressive was how fast he ran those initial 10 and 20 yards, the explosiveness he showed," Jerry Jones said. "I didn’t get the exact [interval] times, but I know he was one of the fastest off the line. It took him maybe two steps to get that first 10 [yards]."

Quote:

Jerry Jones said that he and Cowboys Coach Bill Parcells nicknamed Matt Jones "Jim Thorpe" on Sunday after watching him work out.
Jim Thorpe won the decathlon at the 1912 Olympics, played Major League baseball and professional football and is regarded as one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century.
"We’re talking about Jim Thorpe," Jones called out when Parcells walked by. "That’s because of Matt’s versatility and how athletic he is."

Quote:

"He’s blessed with tremendous abilities, and I think he’s been able to do some things other people can’t do without straining," Reese said. "But I think he’s very excited about the NFL and is very willing and able to play wherever he can."
Jerry Jones said that where Matt Jones plays is "is going to be the big debate as clubs continue to look at him" and didn’t rule out the possibility of quarterback.
"It’s not impossible," Jerry Jones said. "Certainly when you look at some of the things we’re doing and clubs are doing, you don’t have to be the prototype dropback passer to move the ball in the NFL today, especially as you get near the red zone."
Jerry Jones added that it was clear the work Matt Jones put in to get ready for the Combine.
"Most every ambitious individual that comes into the NFL is aware and falls into the stepped up work ethic, the year-around commitment that is required," Jerry Jones said. "I don’t care what kind of athlete you are or what kind of speed you’ve got.
"The players do it because of the rewards that are there, and Matt’s got every ability and does grasp that. Sure you’re going to work more [in the NFL] than you did in college, because now it’s a full-time job."

It's not terrible, he's a very interesting prospect that has opened more then a few eyes around the league. The problem with him is where does he play. I think if he would have been a WR or TE in college instead of a QB he would be a first round prospect.

i dunno, i guess i was hoping we try getting Braylon, but he'll prolly be long gone before #11

Dont worry JJ and BP wont go after him in the 1st round. He'll probably go in the 2nd or 3rd round.

SDOGO, wasn't Quinthy from Georgia? I don't know where Dixon's from and the only thing I want to know about him is who his replacement is

Yeah Quincy is from Georgia. That was written bad. I ment to use Quincy are a refrence as to how he will reach for prospects he develops a personal man love with not as a prospect from Arkansas.

Gotcha. I like Jones, but I hope JJ can hold his boner down till at least the 4th round
