Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has long been a larger-than-life presence in the NFL. Despite often facing criticism for his personnel decisions and contract negotiations, Jones continues to make a strong impression on players, both seasoned veterans and incoming rookies.
This offseason, Jones’ impact on prospects has been particularly notable. Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden posed for a photo with Jones during his visit to the team, and Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins recently singled him out as one of the most influential NFL personalities he has met.

Appearing on Up & Adams with Kay Adams, Judkins was asked to name an NFL figure who had left a lasting impact on him. Without hesitation, he pointed to Jones. “One of the most exciting ones I’ve met so far, and probably the most entertaining and funny, I’d say Jerry Jones,” Judkins said.
A lot of respect for the Dallas owner
Judkins described Jones as a “great guy” and highlighted their engaging conversation. He noted that Jones asked him numerous questions, while also giving him the opportunity to ask his own. This could mean that the star youngster could end up in a Cowboys uniform during the NFL Draft.
The Cowboys are in need of a new featured running back, and Judkins could be a strong candidate for the position in the second round of the NFL Draft. His Relative Athletic Score bears a striking resemblance to that of Marion Barber III, the former Cowboys standout known for his bruising running style.
Jones’ ability to connect with players has been evident for decades, with stars like Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, Dez Bryant, and Tony Romo all having publicly praised him. Whether or not Judkins ends up in Dallas, his positive experience with Jones is another testament to the owner’s lasting influence on the league.

2025 NFL Draft winners and losers: Shedeur Sanders falls into both categories, Tom Brady makes the list
Getty Images After 257 picks, the 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books. The draft started on Thursday with the Browns doing something crazy, and it ended on Saturday with the Browns also doing something crazy, so in a way, the draft truly came full circle. The first round started with a blockbuster trade between Cleveland and Jacksonville that saw the Jaguars move up from the fifth pick to the second overall spot so they could take Travis Hunter. Although Hunter went second overall, one player who had to wait longer than expected to get drafted was Hunter's college teammate at Colorado, Shedeur Sanders. Not only did he fall out of the first round, but he ended up falling all the way to the fifth round before the Browns took him with the 144th overall pick. For this draft, Sanders was both […]
Broncos 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Building around Bo Nix with new targets, defensive depth
The Broncos closed the draft Saturday by acquiring a developmental pass rusher in the fourth round, a punter with the last pick in the sixth round and former basketball standout and converted tight end in the seventh round.Those moves punctuated a three-day event that was more substance than flash for the Broncos. After landing their franchise quarterback in 2024 and making the playoffs during Bo Nix’s encouraging rookie season, this offseason has been about careful upgrades designed to help Denver take another step forward in their quest to become real contenders — and not just in 2025.Advertisement“We did a good job in free agency to put ourselves in a position to really look at, three years out, how do we like this player?” Broncos coach Sean Payton said in the days leading up that draft.Only time will reveal whether this […]

El Clasico: What wild Copa del Rey final win means for FC Barcelona, and what loss means for Real Madrid
Getty Images After FC Barcelona won 3-2 against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, in what was a wild 120 minutes of play, it's now time to think about what's next at both clubs, especially at Real Madrid, where there will be even more doubts about the future of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who looks increasingly likely to end his successful spell at the Spanish club after winning 15 trophies. Despite the success, Real Madrid are facing the risk of ending the current 2024-25 season with no trophies, and this might lead the club's president, Florentino Perez, to look for another coach in the summer. Here's what we learned from the final of the Copa del Rey: Hansi Flick continues hot start On the other side, FC Barcelona are more than happy with the decision they made in the summer […]
Giants 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: The wait begins. When will Jaxson Dart be ready?
The silver lining to a horrible 2024 New York Giants season was that it set up a fascinating offseason build-up to the 2025 NFL Draft. The current regime, led by GM Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll, was put on notice by ownership. Fix this, or …They needed, it seemed, to deliver big during the draft. Time will tell if that’s what they did, but in terms of taking some big swings to turn things around, Schoen and Daboll didn’t disappoint.AdvertisementIt all started Day 1, with the Giants selecting Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick before making a huge splash by trading back into the first round for Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart — the franchise’s first QB selection since using the No. 6 pick on Daniel Jones in 2019.The Giants then tackled some of […]
Bears 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Newcomers reflect Ben Johnson’s vision, energy
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Defensive tackle Shemar Turner was the Bears’ fourth pick of the NFL Draft — and their third in the second round — but he quickly became a headliner with his news conferences. The relentlessness and edge he plays with came through in his words.“It’s just a fire inside me — kill,” Turner said Friday night. “Take their lunch money because … offensive linemen really ain’t worth nothing, bro. They really can’t block me.”AdvertisementThe Bears want that attitude in the middle of their defense. They want that energy — and Turner has always been that way.“To me, you can’t be a football player, especially a D-lineman, putting your nose in there, putting your hand in the dirt, if you ain’t got a little something to you, bro,” Turner said. “So you’ve always got to play with a […]
