Rolland-Jones says he just wants shot

It's 30 minutes from his family's home in Mesquite, Texas, where the former Arkansas State University defensive end and No. 2 all-time sack leader in the Football Bowl Subdivision will wait for a phone call from the National Football League.

Rolland-Jones' family is throwing an NFL Draft party Saturday, which is when his agent and NFL team representatives have told him he could be drafted anywhere from the fourth to seventh round.

That would make Rolland-Jones the 48th Arkansas State player drafted into the NFL -- former end Alfred Bentley was drafted by the AFL's New York Titans in 1961 -- and the first since 2014, when defensive tackle Ryan Carrethers was drafted 165th overall by the then-San Diego Chargers in the fifth round.
