Hurrah for Mr. Jones showing team loyalty by apparently choosing to play in the Rose Bowl before turning pro. Just hope his NFL career is not shattered by injury.
From Eleven Warriors:
Dre'Mont Jones will be on the field one last time for the Buckeyes in Pasedena as the Buckeye defensive tackle announces he will enter the 2019 NFL Draft, but does plan to play in the Rose Bowl.
The news is contrary to earlier rumors and reports that Jones would not play in the game.
Jones ranks second on the team in both sacks (8.5) and tackles for loss (13.5), trailing only Chase Young in both categories. He's also forced a fumble, recovered three fumbles of his own – one of which went for a touchdown – and had an interception returned for a touchdown during the team's win against TCU.
Jones joins Dwayne Haskins as an Ohio State player with high draft stock still electing to play in the team's bowl game as early projections have him being selected anywhere from mid first round to early second round.

It doesn't matter whether any player is "ready" or not. If they can capitalize on a breakout season to get paid, they should do it. It matters more if they have the maturity to handle the windfall. We speak from a fan's perspective. They need to do what's best for their family and themselves.

100%. Haskins will probably see anywhere from 10-20M guaranteed. If he never plays an NFL down, he's taken care of himself and his family for life.dazed&confused wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 8:52 pmIt doesn't matter whether any player is "ready" or not.
