The Past:
Christian Jones saw the other grass, and decided Soldier Field’s is just as green.
The son of former Super Bowl champion Willie Jones, Christian was a 4-star recruit (ESPN) out of high school who opted to play for his father’s - and brother’s - alma mater: Florida State University. His high school scouting report reads of promise and versatility, praising his size and motor and hyperbolizing that there “might not be a more impressive looking outside linebacker than Jones in [the 2010] class.” Quite the praise for an 18-year old kid.
