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.

Mike Elko giving Texas A&M what it’s long needed: An adult in the room
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Remember the Swagcopter?In a different era of Texas A&M football, it was merely a way for Kevin Sumlin and his staff to hop from one high school game to another but became a symbol of the program’s largesse and ultimately its superficiality as the recruits it helped sign didn’t translate to enough wins.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementRemember the faux national championship trophy with a space left blank to fill in the year Jimbo Fisher and his groundbreaking $75 million contract were supposed to bring one back here?It became, yet again, the emblem of a school trying to speak something into existence that nobody around here realized had to be earned rather than bought.For its first dozen years in the Southeastern Conference, Texas A&M and its supporters would stand on their proverbial mountain of cash and shout to the masses how […]
