METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Chad Jones, the former LSU star and New York Giants 2010 draft choice whose career was placed in jeopardy by a car wreck nearly 1 1/2 years ago, was timed at 4.84 seconds in a public 40-yard dash at a suburban New Orleans school on Wednesday night.
“That’s a good time for my first time. Things went pretty good today,” said Jones, who also was celebrating his 23rd birthday. “This was just to kind of show the public there’s progress. It’s definitely not my fastest time. I’ve got five more months of backburner.”
