When FIU running back Anthony Jones ran out of the tunnel and into the lights this past Saturday night for the start of the Florida Atlantic game, it was symbolic of what his life has been like lately.
This past Tuesday marked exactly two months since things got really dark for him and teammate Mershawn Miller as they were the victims of a drive-by shooting in Opa-Locka, according to police reports.
Miller, who could return as soon as this Saturday night when FIU (6-3, 4-1) visits Texas-San Antonio (3-6, 2-3), was shot in the arm. Jones was shot in the face and the back, and there were serious concerns for his life, not just his career.
