Matt Jones Razorback Highlight Reel

[OneandOnly23]

Before there was Tim Tebow there was MATT JONES

Matt Jones > Tim Tebow!!

[sc077tube]

i must need new glasses.... is this kid white?!?!?!?!

[irod91]

he out atheleted people in college once he got to the pros he couldnt do it any more and instead of working started to do crack

thank you shack harris for taking him instead of aaron rodgers

[jonjovan7]

he absolutely hauls ass

[moejobe]

wow longest strides ever.

[rundmc525]

a white cam newton with a nuttless coach

[andrewmaddennn]

If he played for Gus Malzahn, he would have been Cam Newton.

[n1ckmsrt]

his legal issues were less severe then guys like Vick and Burress but because hes white he doesnt get a second chance even though he is a beast athlete

[8cantrell5]

@n1ckmsrt haha what?! Dude, I'm white so this is not a racial reply but that was pretty ignorant. He was addicted to drugs and got caught with cocaine multiple times. He weighed 245 when he came into the league and left weighing around 215-220. Obviously he was more focused on blow than on football.

[UpperHandDating]

@8cantrell5 His weight loss was intentional to play WR in the NFL.  Matt was never a "workout" guy in college and weighed more than he needed to. He wasn't weak but he wasn't 245 pounds of muscle either.

[cklng223]

@8cantrell5 this is simply false. He got caught once in fayetteville. He lives in fayetteville with his wife and family and is not addicted to drugs. He lost weight to play wide receiver.

[UpperHandDating]

@n1ckmsrt He did get a second chance but decided to drink alcohol while he was in the NFL drug program.

[birch5757]

0:41 is awesome, he fakes the throw, and just puts his head down and literally sprints past the entire defense in 15 yards. Of all the clips here, that's just something that simply does not happen in D-1.

[UpperHandDating]

@birch5757 I'd say his burst at 1:38 is even better

[SolarGamer]

this guy looks like he is running on turbo

[Jordanwilliams53]

too bad coke was good.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

You guys thought Cam Newton and Tim Tebow were good scrambling quarterbacks? You know nothing. Matt Jones was the epitome of a scrambling quarterback. Faster than defensive backs and as big as defensive end. It makes me angry to know he wasted a great NFL career on drugs.

[wf1623]

Does anyone realize how RIDICULOUS 1:21 - 1:30 is !?!? The safety has a perfect angle on him and he outruns him by 10 yards.

[ghostcatchers001]

dont quarterbacks throw?

[HoggyPetrino501]

@ghostcatchers001 Not when you play for sorry ass Houston Nutt

[smhyes]

@ghostcatchers001 lol in Houston Nutt's offense i dont think so

[UpperHandDating]

@ghostcatchers001 MJ was so awesome his highlight reel doesn't need to include any of his awesome throws. Search for the "Miracle on Markham"

[vihockeyguy1]

Last clip at the senior bowl practice shows how athletic he was. Look how high he jumps. He was legit 6'6, 251 pounds. At the combine, he ran an official 4.37 40. Dmac ran a 4.33. Matt Jones had a 40" vertical and had long arms and you can see how good his hands were with that one handed snag in practice. He should have been one of the greatest down field threats to play in the NFL. What a waste of talent. Such a naturally physically gifted freak. Doubt we'll ever see another like him.

[Dem330BoysEnt]

all that talent has went to wast

[ArknsawMa]

If this guy was black he would have been a first round pick at QB. Better than Vick, Young, Tebow, and Scam Newton.

[ddhaacekh]

cocaine qb... what a waste

[groovyuppercut]

It took unil 3:30 to show a highlight of him throwing. A quarterback.

[SeeMac23]

@groovyuppercut that wasn't Matt Jones, that was the runningback throwing. Jones isn't black

[dreameratw1]

@groovyuppercut he was projected as a wr and a possible hb on the next level. know before commenting.

[groovyuppercut]

@dreameratw1 Yeah I know that's where he was projected. That doesn't change the fact that he was playing quarterback during those plays and did not throw the ball once. Know before making snarky comments.

[Gamebreaker2887]

6'6'' 240 lbs., runs a sub-4.4 forty and has a 40'' vertical? This dude might be the best athlete ever, regardless of sport......

[qwalby]

The sky was the limit for Matt.

Drugs-1

Matt-0

[Bristow432]

Damn, can you imagine if they had McFadden at the same time.

[jujututu]

THATS ONE BAD ASS MOTHER FUCKER!!! SADLEY WHERE IS HE NOW???

[millermanmagic]

defiantly still would take the great mick vick, but the dude had skill

[Drahthaar422]

If Matt has ever under a decent coach, i.e. anyone not named Nutt, he would have gone down as one of the best SEC players ever.

[barsandstars220]

Number 9 was a bad dude. I loved watching him run all over teams while he was at Arkansas.

[Ravn23459]

Look at that fucking stride. It's a little funny but its amazing, his stride frequency isn't even that fast compared to how the other guys chasing him are running hes like a giraffe.

[MsPsycho29]

New England is looking to sign him with Moss gone now. And when they do they are going to be the toughest team to defend against anywhere. Super.

[Ctownace]

@MsPsycho29 LMAO!!!!! How's that working out for you???

[MsPsycho29]

@Ctownace Not too good at the moment. New England is still one of the favourites to go to the Superbowl but they still need some deep threat.

As for Moss, well even the Vikings won't have him.

[ztbutter2010]

Regardless of his pro failures, Matt Jones will always be remembered fondly by Hog fans. Nobody could scramble quite like him.

[chris371]

@ztbutter2010 He didnt fail as a pro, he was the best JAX WR and looked really impressive for the bengals in preseason games. Id have kept him over the old man TO. Hes a natural talent, and its a waste he doesnt get a legit shot.

[Ctownace]

@chris371 No no...what a REAL shame is the fact that he smoked up his chance as a successful pro athlete.  He got his shot with the Bengals, and he came in heavier than they wanted him (probably munchies) and was at LEAST a step slower, he looked awful in preseason....I don't know which games you were watching.

[andrewmanson1987]

as a huge hog fan i gotta say i love ryan mallet, but damn jones was fun to watch. he could break one from nowhere

[flshmastrj]

Run Forrest Run!

[Darkscott626]

HOLY shit! I didn't know he was that elite!

[EddieVedder13]

This guy could have been one of the great NFL talents but instead wasted it way and now is just another nobody in the league

[chris371]

Matt Jones = God

[mattjones090]

@chris371 thank you

[chris371]

@mattjones090 if you really are MJ, then I gotta tell you that you are an inspiration beyond comprehension. Fuck Vick, Fuck ALi, MJ is the greatest athlete ever ;)

[EllaChase]

@chris371 Babe Ruth is the best there ever was, he is did accomplished everything he did eating hot dogs and drinking beer.

[GOOCHMONSTERS]

lol he moves so awkwardly that the defense doesnt kno what to do

[forgetpolitics]

ONE pass in the whole video. 

[vamarasitube]

@forgetpolitics hahaaha yeah and it wasnt even thrown by matt jones

[spacitydrummer4JC]

I'd say Matt was the best scrambling quarterback in the history of the SEC.

[chris371]

6'6 and he runs a 4.3

One of the greatest talents of all time.

[Greesonmonkey44]

the angles these SEC corners and safeties have on him are ridiculous. and he just breezes past them. what a waste of talent.

[ludogsucks]

@Greesonmonkey44

Aint that the truth

[gmanunreal]

Fifa 98 FTW

[sb11xpac3211]

what a damn shame.

[PearlJam9108]

Razorbacks 2010 SEC Champs!

[WattyRocks]

@swooopppp, if you were 6'6" and weighed 245 pounds with the 4.37 speed he has then you would run a little funny too. regardless, he's still the best scrambling college QB in decades including tebow and vick. vick is definetly comparable but tebow had absolutely NOTHING on jones. and never will.

[MrFootballstud20]

@WattyRocks Tebow and him have totally different styles. But yeah he was nasty at Arkansas

[WattyRocks]

@MrFootballstud20 thats very true, and thats really what i meant... Tebow is a great runner, dont get me wrong. if Matt had played in a spread run-oriented system he wouldve been terrible. and if Tebow had played in an option system like Matt he wouldve been terrible.

[NoRegretsForOurYouth]

@WattyRocks

ehem....VINCE YOUNG!!! Thank you goodnight

[WattyRocks]

@NoRegretsForOurYouth Vince Young? Dont even bring him up, he was basically a fast version of JaMarcus Russel and he wasnt even that fast.

[NoRegretsForOurYouth]

@WattyRocks

He ran a 4.5, nothing to scoff at. And it wasn't his speed that made him a great scrambler, but his elusiveness. Only player in the history of college football to pass for over 3000 yards and rush for a 1000. Best college quarterback i've ever seen, not that i've been around all that long.

[dreameratw1]

@NoRegretsForOurYouth 4.37 and 4.39 recheck your facts

[NoRegretsForOurYouth]

@dreameratw1

I was using the NFL combine and pro days, where'd you get your facts? If you got your stats from a UT source, take it with a grain of salt, Universities always oversell their products.

[MsPsycho29]

@WattyRocks NOTHING: except a 20/20 season. He should be back and playing but because he's white he won't get the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chance that black players get.

[birch5757]

@MsPsycho29 hmmm....let me just say that I saw in person how awesome jones was in college. He did get second, third, and fourth chances, but was unwilling to put in hard work and stay away from drugs, plus he had a shit attitude. That's why he failed, not because he was white.

[devilhead124]

the bengals should consider using him as a backup qb? hmmmm

[swooopppp]

the bengals will know how to use this cold ass white boy, and for a Running qb he runs funnyy lmaoo especially his akward jukes :o

[chrishenry15]

ironlion63- dude heck.

[Drahthaar422]

It seems like on plays in the Red Zone, Matt could have easily hit a receiver for a TD, but instead barely ran it in himself. Oh well. That's Matt for you.

But it sure helps to have a quarterback who can run.

[sleepyace1]

thats a cold ass white boy

[ironloins63]

I agree that he does look better running the ball than what Vince Young does. Heck, I think that he looks better than what Michael Vick does at running. Reason why he didn't play QB in the NFL is b/c he couldn't throw, but heck anyone of those coaches in the NFL can fix that to where he can throw right.

[keimaroberts]

Man you crazy as hell if you think he runs better than Vick. For one this is a college highlight reel, check out Vick's NFL highlight reel. Vick was doing in the NFL what Matt was doing in college. Stop being biased

[bull864]

@keimaroberts i agree with you but Jones broke more long runs than any QB I have seen, including Vick.

[IhateTAPS]

@bull864 I agree that you should give me a suck.

[bull864]

@IhateTAPS I have a queer stalker!!! Funny.

[theBIGhombreXboxLive]

@keimaroberts matt's college highlights are better than vicks, too bad you cant compare them in the nfl. matt plays receiver now

[anand2p]

Does he throw a pass in this highlight?

[OMNxBEAST]

dear god i forgot how beast he was. RAIDERS TAKE NOTE!!! Hes way better than sorry ass Jamarcus Russel. PLEASE GIVE MCFADDEN SOMEONE ELSE GOOD ON HIS TEAM!!

[hukeeaboo]

i agree 100 percent,, who ever gets matt jones will get a new matt jones, he will be more intense, more focused, and they will get the absolutley best from mj....

[micdod05]

dear god can you imagine if we woulda had jones as qb in 2006?

[bubbacon]

wow, one of the best athletes ive ever seen from this video

[Hendrixking14]

hes one of the fastest white qbs of his size ive ever seen.

[moejobe]

i think he is a better runner wiht the ball than vince young.

[fozzyruler1312000]

I liked matt jones as a qb. Fuck the wide reciever position that shit is ass for a guy like his size and talent.

[bilimonit]

you know we(AR) were stacked that year, if Nutt wasnt the coach it we would have ran a spread offense like Vince Young in Texas and Pat White in West Virginia we would have rocked everyones world. We had him Batman Carroll, Tony Boua, Cobbs, and the Shawn Andrews.

[wildbill642]

The one thing you forget is that he was an erratic passer at best. If he would've been precise, he then would've been the greatest qb of all time.

[krudco84]

this white boy fuckin crrazy

[xVBxAznxBoix]

hell yea hes fuckin crazy

haha

he should of went pro as a QB

[Valdal555]

isnt he a wr

[xVBxAznxBoix]

yeah
