Jacoby Jones heard "you're too small" for many years, mainly because when he showed up at LSU wanting to walk on to the football team, he stood only 5' 7" and weighed 160 pounds.
Then a growth spurt kicked in.
Now standing 6' 2" and weighing over 200 pounds, Jones became a star at Division II Lane College as a receiver and kick returner and was drafted in the third round by the Houston Texans.
That's a long way from wearing an Archie Manning (for you younguns, that's Peyton and Eli's dad) uniform to church as a three-year old.
He'll have his own uniform to wear when camp starts in a few weeks.
