How Josh Jones Fell Into Cardinals Arms at #72

No, University of Houston All-Star tackle Josh Jones didn’t kill anyone, thank goodness!

As Cardinals’ fans have learned, when it became clear that Josh Jones, considered by the vast majority of NFL draftniks as a late 1st to early 2nd round pick, was sliding in the draft like a toboggan down a mountain ski slope, Kliff Kingsbury called his good buddy and mentor Dana Holgerson (Jones’ head coach at Houston) to ask “what in the world is going on, did Jones kill somebody?”

As it turns out, it took something of a perfect blizzard for Jones to land into the eager and outstretched arms of the Cardinals early in Round 3 at pick #72.
