    He looks like he could eat Mullen for a light snack.

    I said the same thing when everyone was bitching about us taking another 2 star during the summer. He's a freak.

    yeah, he ran with the 2s today after the 4th day of practices because he's too slow and is moving to DT.**

    @engie- where'd you take that pic? You were awfully close to me yesterday according to that angle unless you had a telephoto lens or something. I was RIGHT THERE. LOL!

    Kelly actually also played DE in the 3-4 for the Raiders in addition to DT in the 4-3. Kelly also weighed 325 per wikipedia, but I imagine he weighed a little bit more than that.

    Running him at DE today with the 2's is one peculiar way to move him to DT.

    I'd say that is someone who doesn't know much about football listening to someone who knows less. I'm not talking about you either.

    The potential is scary to think about...

    He's still only 18 years old and likely to grow more. Possibly pushing the 6'8"-10" range. Also, comparing to R Nkemdiche, it appears that Jones is the better built of the two and will most likely end up being the better player in the long run. Crazy for State to have a player of this caliber and stature. Could be special for us and be what we need to get us over the hump.
