FAYETTEVILLE — John Stephen Jones was the standout in a quarterback target practice game in spring workout No. 14 this week for the University of Arkansas.

While most of the rest of the team engaged in punting and other special-teams work, the quarterbacks went to the north end zone on the grass field outside the Walker Pavilion and had some fun.

The players set up a large football-catching basket — an angled, rolling contraption — in the back left corner of the end zone and split up into teams for competition.
