FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Deion Jones is not one to duck a challenge. He came into the NFL wanting to face the best of the best.
The second-year Atlanta Falcons middle linebacker certainly puts Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All Pro, in that top tier.
“He’s a good back -- fast,” Jones said of McCoy. “He’s really quick. He’s got some moves.”
McCoy might be the toughest running-back challenge for the Falcons so far this season, although rookie Tarik Cohen from the Chicago Bears made things rather interesting in the season opener.
