It's an ironic headline, considering that Ben Jones likes to walk barefoot on the football field as a pregame ritual every week.
The offensive lineman does appreciate shoes though.
Jones recently outfitted football players from his high school alma mater, Bibb County, with new cleats.
Head football coach Matt Geohagan tweeted out this picture on Wednesday night:
Thanks to @benjones60 for making sure all Bibb County football players will have new cleats this fall. #RiseAsOne pic.twitter.com/kMXRjGg09B
