When A.J. Jefferson walked into Mississippi State’s football facility for breakfast one morning this week, he was surprised to hear his name called by strength coach Rick Court. He knew something was happening out of the norm, but he thought it was just some kind of workout for the young players. He was surprised when moments later he found himself at the opposite end of a thick rope from fellow defensive lineman Chris Jones.
A tug-of-war battle ensued with Dan Mullen watching and yelling the whole time, waiting on a winner to be decided before either could go eat breakfast.
