On the first day of week two, newcomer player interviews encompassed what makes football unique. Marvin Jones Jr., who gets to follow in his legendary father’s footsteps, plays with Sione Lolohea, who met with the media and mentioned he had never been to Tallahassee.

Jones Jr. took the stand and explained his fondest memories growing up in the 850.

“There were definitely a lot of memories made here. Seeing pictures of my dad. My cousin played here, too, so I got to see him a couple of times.”

Conversely, Lolohea had never even heard of football growing up, much less dreamt of playing in garnet and gold.
