KEVIN JONES RUMORS & GOSSIP

Feature: The Rise And Fall Of Va. Tech Super Recruit Kevin Jones

While Jadeveon Clowney holds the nation, or at least South Carolina, Clemson, and Alabama, hostage, it’s a bit brash to throw complete caution to the wind and projecting him to be the next Jevon Kearse. After all, it was only ten years ago that Kevin Jones was the most highly recruited player ever to land at Virginia Tech. Now a decade later, Jones hasn’t been in the NFL...

What was your favorite moment of the Kevin Jones Era?

The Bears cut backup running back Kevin Jones today.  No big surprise with the signing of Chester Taylor last week.  Jones’ career with the Bears never really took off.  He joined the Bears in 2008, coming off a knee injury.  He saw a limited role, playing second fiddle to Matt Forte while racking up 109 yards on 34 carries. Jones looked strong in training camp last year...

Prospect Watch: NFL Combine RB

Because tailback is the most disposable position in all of sports, the Chicago Bears shouldn't waste any more energy on Kevin Jones. Might they target this late rounder they talked to in Indy instead?

No. 2 RBs Available Via Free Agency

Kevin Jones got hurt yet again. Garrett Wolfe hasn't gotten any bigger. Adrian Peterson is likely a goner. Kahlil Bell? Meh. Obviously, the Chicago Bears are going to need another back behind Matt Forte.

Robin Sports NFL Guide: Detroit Lions Preview

The Lions are coming off yet another losing season as they continue to struggle under the control of Matt Millen. Last season, the Lions were a respectable club on offense, but their defense was atrocious. Jon Kitna had one of his best seasons as a pro and there is no reason to think he will not improve upon that with the additional skill players the Lions acquired during the off...
