From ‘dark place’ to starter, Jaguars safety Josh Jones has newfound appreciation for football

Prior to being named the starting safety in Jacksonville, Josh Jones traversed through a windy road filled with ups and downs, a “dark place” he described to the Jacksonville Jaguars media on Thursday.

Selected in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers, Jones entered the NFL as one of the top safeties to come out of the collegiate level. A player with immense talent and athleticism found himself at the top of a mountain and perhaps didn’t quite realize how quickly he could fall.
