Former ASU teammates share dinner, NFL drive

JONESBORO -- Over the savory sizzle of steak and lobster tail, Green Bay Packers linebacker Chris Odom offered some wisdom to his pass-rush protege.

It was Tuesday night at the LongHorn Steakhouse on Red Wolf Boulevard, a few miles away from where senior defensive end Ja'Von Rolland-Jones recorded a season-high 2½ sacks in Arkansas State University's 47-3 home victory over Louisiana-Lafayette several days earlier.

ASU Coach Blake Anderson called Rolland-Jones' effort -- which included a sack fumble that was returned for a touchdown -- "maybe the best game of his career," and the Sun Belt Conference named Rolland-Jones its Co-Defensive Player of the Week.
