LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Velus Jones Jr. spent six minutes Wednesday recounting the life and trials of his late pet ferret, Crash.
The story, which earned its entry point after a casual conversation Jones had during practice, was picked up by cameras on "Hard Knocks" and provided details that grew wilder as the third-year Chicago Bears wide receiver walked down memory lane.
While playing at USC, Jones and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who were roommates, went to a PetSmart and played with ferrets during their downtime before a road game at Idaho.
