Jones grew up in Chicago, but he played his senior season of high school football at Rockford East in the fall of 2016. From there he went to Highland Community College in Kansas before moving on to Middle Tennessee.....

Good for him

Richie was cut out west. Gonna be hard for him to make a roster with his injury. He also dropped more passes than any WR in the pre season. Hope his career is not over.

Jones had a fantastic camp and preseason. He’s got the skill set to succeed I hope he can stay healthy and make a name for himself.
