The matchup of Jones on Wilson will be one to watch this weekend.
You might think a 6-foot-5 receiver would love to be matched up on a 5-foot-10 cornerback, but that isn't necessarily always the case.
Mississippi State's star receiver De'Runnya "Bear" Wilson came away from last season's matchup impressed by Alabama defender Cyrus Jones.
"I thought he was the best corner I ever played against in the SEC," Wilson said Tuesday. "Cyrus Jones is a little corner but he's strong, fast, quick. I mean, I give credit to him because I had to work even harder preparing to go against him.
