More than three months ago now, the FIU Panthers waited nervously at their football facility for news about their to teammates. Anthony Jones and Mershawn Miller were both victims in a drive-by shooting and after the team flooded Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, the players retreated back to campus while Butch Davis waited behind.
It really might be a miracle Jones is even alive — “It’s truly a blessing by God,” Davis said Friday in the Bahamas — but, as Davis tells the story now, it doesn’t seem like Jones was really too worried about getting shot in his back.
