Jacoby Jones (not to be confused with the late Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl champion and Pro Bowler of the same name) initially began his career at Northwest Mississippi.
His first FBS experiance came at Ohio, where he has a strong 777 yards and six touchdowns in his debut. Injuries mostky kept him off the field in 2023 before he joined the Knights. Robert McDaniel actually had two one-year stints at Jackson State.
The first was in 2019, then he transferred to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. In 2022 he moved to Alcorn State and played two seasons before returning to his first college as a graduat senior. Tim McKay, who has played snaps at both guars and tackle, had been projected to be a mid-round pick before suffering an ill-timed pectoral tear during the Wolfpack's pro day.
Tom Pelissero has revealed that his contract has a $275,000 guarantee. Keegan Jones was one of the Bruins' most versatile weapons during his tenure. Having begun as a running back, he was increasingly listed and used as a wide receiver and also saw some time as returner.
