    Right. It's like he wants to be a guy that plays football, but doesn't want to be a "football player" (thank you, John Madden).

    All things being equal . . .

    1. Go with the 10-year veteran with a 45+ yard average.

    2. Avoid a rookie with a high probability of failing a marijuana test and losing him mid-season.

    The last thing you want in the NFL is a punter with an ego or potential attitude. Never met him so not sure but I would be surprised if he's left off of an NFL roster because of lack of talent.

    Roughly 50% of the NFL players use weed, one NFL Head Coach said around a third of the players on his draft board used it. That being said, Jones is one guy they knew what they had in him. Journeymen like him stay in the league a long time. Wing will have an uphill climb, hope him the best.

    D-Pete is tight end that is scared of contact. He probably is'nt the sharpest knife in the drawer either.

    Gotcha. That makes sense now. Yeah, I knew DJones was doing well, but didn't remember he played for the Eagles. Always proud of my Tigers who are doing well.
