This past weekend in Jacksonville, former Texas A&M football player Jaylon Jones got the attention of one of the loudest and prominent talking heads in sports, Pat McAfee.
The former Colts punter, ESPN personality and arguably most famous fan in Indiana praised Jones for his play during a 37-34 loss against the Jaguars in Week 5.
“Jaylon Jones, #40 for the Colts, might be an All Pro this year,” McAfee tweeted on Sunday afternoon. “Makes a play every drive seemingly.”
Jones isn’t to be confused with another NFL cornerback by the same name who also attended an SEC school. The second-year defensive back suited up for the Aggies at Kyle Field from 2020-22. He was drafted by the Colts with the 221st overall pick in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Despite the loss, Jones had a strong individual performance versus Jacksonville. He racked up 6 tackles (5 solo), 2 pass deflections and 1 forced fumble.
Indianapolis face another AFC South rival on the road Sunday at noon against Tennessee.
