So from what I read on NFL.com as soon as I logged on to my PC is that the Jaguars signed Jones-Drew to a four-year, $32 million contract. The deal also included $17.5 million guaranteed. To say I didn’t know this deal would happen is ludicrous because their have been multiple times said from multiple sources that this deal was going to happen. To say I was surprised at this guy’s pay day though is absolutely true. I don’t think they overpaid him either. He was the best back in his draft class and has proved that over guys the likes of Reggie Bush. He’s even proved to be just about better than Bush at everything, and anyone with sense could see that Bush isn’t a genuine “25 Carries” a game back.
But when you start to compliment and talk about this guy’s success on the field you have a lot to talk about. He’s scored what I believe is 40 touchdowns in his short riddled three year career! The guy is tough too and great as a pass blocker because he’s so cock strong for a little guy. His leadership skills and respect in the locker room isn’t bad either. Fred Taylor told this guy when he came in that the NFL is what you make it to be. So you can definitely say he is one of the young, up and coming, premier players in this league. Congratulations to Jones-Drew on this big pay day, he’s really earned it.
