Jones, a former Mississippi State lineman, decided to wear short tights for his 40-year dash. He didn’t realize that they were essentially boxers and that he had made the wrong dress choice.
“Honestly, bro, I was really interested in being different,” Jones explained. “Everyone was wearing fucking long tights. I was like, ‘I’m not going to go out and imitate everyone.’ I wear short tights. I didn’t know they were boxers. “T-nii-san.” ”
Jason Kelce sarcastically noted that Jones “stumbled on his third leg.” Travis Kelce recalled Jones saying he “fell off.”

“That’s exactly what I said,” Jones recalled. “I couldn’t believe it. I was running and I was looking at number 40, and all of a sudden I felt it. I felt it touching my foot and I was like, ‘Oh, oh…’ I thought, ‘I know the little kids are watching, so I cuff them and try to jump in.’ ”
Jason Kelce praised Jones for being able to say that his private parts had “fallen out.”
“I don’t think I can describe myself with that adjective,” the Philadelphia Eagles center said. “I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere.”
Jones still finished fifth among defensive linemen weighing 300 pounds. The Chiefs selected him in the second round of the 2016 draft.
In 2017, he did indeed recall to Sports Illustrated, “The Hummer is out.”
