Two months after auditioning for NFL scouts, Greg Jones wants to be a college football player again.
It's an unusual story that is going to require beating long odds, but that is what Jones does best when given the opportunity.
The former Rutgers starting strong side linebacker -- who suffered what was called a career-ending neck injury last October -- said he has gained medical clearance to return to the field. He just needs a field to return to.
Nothing developed out of Rutgers Pro Day, so he is hoping the NCAA will grant him a rare sixth year of eligibility based on a multiple hardships waiver.
