Datone Jones was Offered an Outlet to Succeed in Green Bay; and he did just that

Big names for big defensive linemen stockpiled the 2013 NFL Draft class, names such as Ezekiel Ansah, Sheldon Richardson and Sharrif Floyd.

Further down the list of the aforementioned first round selections waits Datone Jones, selected by the Green Bay Packers at 26th overall. A Southern California native making the trek to the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field; now, that was something to behold.

By the spot of Jones on the Packers draft board, many would assume he was set to become an All-Pro at his position. Especially coming from a coaching staff at UCLA whose ceiling is excellence and the floor — well, there is no floor.
