The Eyes of Texas Are Upon Jacoby Jones

One of the games that caught my attention this past weekend was the Houston Texans beating the Dallas Cowboys 28-16 to win the “Governor’s Cup” in the state of Texas. Rookie WR Jacoby Jones (from tiny Lane College in Jackson, TN) once again stood out. His highlight-reel plays have been a fixture in all three of the Texans’ preseason games. Following his first two impressive outings, all the rookie third-round draft pick did for an encore was return a first-quarter punt 91 yards for a touchdown, the longest in Texans preseason history. Then he caught his first NFL touchdown, a leaping 19-yarder in the corner of the end zone. He’s the league’s preseason leader in TDs with three. This guy will not only thrive as a special teams ace, but he’s going to be a much-needed weapon at WR opposite Andre Johnson. QB Matt Schaub is smiling. Here’s a link to the game highlights from Texans Internet TV.
