 Draft prospect time, baby Purdue wide receiver, Charlie Jones. One thing about him is he might have made the biggest come up of any NFL draft prospect during the 2022 season. Let's get into it. It has been a roller coaster Disneyland style. What is it? What's in credit coaster style? One loop upside down. It has been a wild journey for the 5'11", 175 pound speedster to get to this point. It's where you end up. That's what they say. Where do they come from? Dearfield, Illinois, shout out Michael Jordan. He was a two star recruit coming out of there and not many people saw the NFL in his future. Let's just say that he first landed a scholarship at Buffalo, but after having just a limited role there as a freshman, he decided to hit the transfer portal in Hope's landing and a bigger program that would give him a better opportunity. And that didn't quite work out the way it hoped. He didn't get the type of scholarship offers he'd hoped for. So he ends up moving on to Iowa as a walk on. And while Charlie absolutely flourished on special teams, leading his conference in return yards and being named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Year of 2021, he still wasn't getting the opportunities he wanted at receiver. That was his dream. He had 21 catches over two years, just that with the Hawkeyes. So what did he do? He said, at this, I'm gonna try and go somewhere else. Again, he transfers to Purdue to reunite. This is awesome. He reunites to this quarterback Aidan O'Connell. That was his teammate all the way back in third grade for the Buffalo Grove Bills. I know those Chicago suburbs, shout out to them. This was his last shot to say, this is what I can do. Let me show you what me and this third grade throwback can do. No more transfers, no more years of eligibility, nada. It was all or nothing in 2022 and Charlie Jones balled out. Okay, I don't know why I'm effing today, but I am. He led all of college football with 110 catches. He led the big 10 with 1,360 in yards, finishing second in the conference with 12 touchdowns and was named an all-American. How about that? How about being this guy who goes from not even being on anyone's radar as a prospect at all to projected mid-round pick and quite honestly, one of the more intriguing sleepers in this draft. Charlie Jones did what we respect more than anything. He bet on himself. He refused to settle, he made the absolute most of his opportunity and it is hard to not root for a guy like that. We'll have more on these draft prospects. Big thanks to BJ O'Julari, John Rostin. Who did he say would win, Yukon? So the other team's gonna win and we'll see you guys tomorrow with the rest of it. Have a great day. Good start to the week.
