Jones plans to pass on lessons he learned from Roddy White

Jones plans to pass along the lessons he learned from White.

“I learned a lot from Roddy about being a great teammate, about bringing other guys, the young guys, with you and showing them the right way to go out here and play the game of football,” Jones said.

White, the franchise’s all-time leading receiver in catches (808), yards (10,863) and touchdowns (63), was released in March. He wants to continue playing for a contender. Carolina, Tampa Bay and Minnesota have been mentioned as possible landing spots for White.

Jones thought White would be signed by now.

“I’m very surprised, but you know how it is in the NFL,” Jones said. “Guys kind of wait until the last minute to make that decision.”
