Deion Jones: Will be weird watching LSU without father-figure Les Miles

Atlanta Falcons rookie Deion Jones still feels a connection to his former head coach at LSU, Les Miles.

When Jones goes to watch the Tigers on Saturday night against Missouri -- and for the rest of the season -- it will be odd for him not to see Miles roaming the sideline. Miles was fired last Sunday after 12 years at the school.

"It's going to be a little weird," Jones said. "I just hope those guys are keeping their heads up and are prepared to play ball."

Jones was hurt to see Miles go, considering the connection he established with the coach dating back to the recruiting process.
