By Bret Stuter
After a heartbreaking injury on his last Washington Football pro day drills, cornerback Sidney Jones NFL future changed instantly. The Philadelphia Eagles are very patient. But can he deliver the goods this year?
If Washington Husky Sidney Jones IV did not rupture his Achilles Tendon on the last drill at Washington Football pro day, he would surely have been a first round draft pick. He has something most NCAA football prospects cannot boast heading into the NFL – football smarts. Better than instincts. Better than pure athleticism. His game is a game of cat and mouse.
Unfortunately for the receivers who try to score against him, they soon learn they are the mice. Or at least they were. Now, in the midst of rehabbing his injury, the questions no professional should hear are spoken silently in thunderous claps from the stillness.
The sound of silence…
Just how much will Jones retain of his stellar NCAA playing day? How long will it take to get him playing for the Philadelphia Eagles? Will he ever be the same player?
The Achilles Tendon is a serious injury to any professional athlete. But to a player in the secondary, it can end any hopes of a serious career. But not all injuries are created the same. How can that be? Let’s talk about the Achilles Tendon for just a minute.
