INDIANAPOLIS – Take a stroll around downtown Indianapolis during the NFL Combine this week, and you’re likely to see a familiar face.
Byron Jones might not be the biggest name among last year’s first-round draft pick, but it’s understandable why he’d be plastered all over advertisements for the weeklong event.
After all, it was Jones’ record-setting broad jump of 12-feet, 3-inches that helped propel him into the consciousness of draftniks everywhere. It might not have been the reason the Cowboys picked him 27th overall, but it did help put him on the map during the road to the NFL draft.
