Jones Says
“Coach Brown is a cool guy. He is very straight forward but he’s going to make you feel like family.”
Mack Brown Says
The unique thing about D.J., is he’s from Fayetteville, Pine Forest High School, his parents are both retired military, he was a receiver until two years ago. So, he runs excellent routes outside, he’s got excellent hands, he’s got really good vision, fast… And with this offense and him with speed in space, we think the offense sets up perfectly for the two backs we’ve (signed.).”
Deana King Says
"D.J. can do a lot of things well. He is a good all-purpose back that can be used on special teams as well. He comes from Fayetteville, an area that has some very good football talent.”
