woods1110 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft05/news/story?id=1973918 Check out the South Roster...Do you notice a WR by the name of Matt Jones?? When you click on his name it says Matt Jones is one of the more intriguing prospects to follow during this week's process at the Senior Bowl. The dual-threat collegiate quarterback is looking to prove to scouts that he's capable of making the transition to wide receiver in the NFL.Jones has terrific size and is a versatile athlete that also played basketball for the Razorbacks. However, he needs to use this week of practice to prove that he has the speed and hands to take a chance on as a developmental WR prospect. Am I reading that right?

Am I reading that right? 141320[/snapback] Yes...it's been talked about for quite a while that he would be a WR in the NFL. Haven't you ever noticed how many DB's he's beaten to the house??? Those long strides of his are very deceiving...he's quite fast and what a HUGE target he'd make for a Peyton Manning or someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickerman97 3 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I really didn't think Rogers was playing in the bowl, but I guess so. I guess he was tired of all the DB he beat for the Maxwell award and some others being projected ahead of him in the draft. Go Carlos..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prowler 1 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Quick question........Who's all, if any, going?

Weagle98 119 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 He better learn how to hold on to the ball if he is going to play WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaTiger 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 my concern about jones would be his speed, but i think i'm unduly influenced by his late-season injury this past year that slowed him down some. gl to him & to all the AU Tigers! ct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickerman97 3 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 don't worry, he has plenty of speed. Just ask the better part of the players who have played in the SEC for the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaglewagon 1 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 The biggest experiment at the Senior Bowl is the switch by Arkansas quarterback Matt Jones to wide receiver. Jones looked good late in practice Monday, catching a deep fade in double coverage by Corey Webster of LSU and James Butler of Georgia Tech ... GOOD ARTICLE ON ESPN.COM.....COLLEGE FOOTBALL SECTION.

mcgufcm 4,109 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 magic matt has speed to burn. i would want to see how well he runs routes and catches the ball b/c if he can't do those things... i'd move him to safety and let him bury people.
