Every rep is scrutinized with the intent to make improvements that last. The now former Tiger also appreciates the love that Auburn fans have for their team.
"I love being an Auburn Tiger," Jones said. "The fans showed me a lot of love and how Auburn really loves football. They take pride in being Auburn Tigers and I do, too."
Jones came to the Plains after three seasons at East Carolina. He's appreciative of his chances to play in the SEC.
