When you play behind one of the best players in Clemson history, you can’t be impatient. Mike Jones hasn’t been. He has waited his turn and now he is going to get it.
After waiting patiently for his shot to be a starter at strongside linebacker, Jones will have his opportunity when the Tigers open spring practice Wednesday at the Poe Indoor Practice Facility in Clemson. The former 4-star recruit had to play the last two years behind Isaiah Simmons, who was a unanimous All-American selection this past season and is projected to be a top 10 pick in April’s NFL Draft.
