RB Jones to Join McFadden in NFL

University of Arkansas Junior RB Felix Jones will follow his teammate, Junior RB Darren McFadden, out of Fayetteville and into the 2008 Draft. The 6’0,” 205 lb. Jones has been very productive over his 3-year collegiate career despite surrendering the majority of his team’s rushing attempts to McFadden. In both 2006 and 2007, Jones recorded over 1,160 yards rushing while averaging a very impressive 7.6 yards/carry and 8.7 yards/carry in each respective season. Furthermore, Jones nearly doubled his rushing TD total in 2007 (11) from that in 2006 (6), while also increasing his total receiving yardage, and maintaining his characteristic success on special teams in the return game. Jones’ most impressive performances this past season include a 12 carry, 133 yard output against Kentucky, 166 yards on 13 carries to go along with 3 TD’s against South Carolina, and a 9 carry, 85 yard performance at LSU. While securing the football is an area which Jones could improve on, the Razorback rusher’s versatility and open-field speed give him a good chance to be chosen as high as the tag end of Round 1.
