If you hadn’t already heard, Notre Dame running back Tony Jones Jr. is gone and is going to test his luck in the NFL.
It’s hard to blame him, really. While he would have definitely seen carries next season, the Notre Dame backfield is packed even, with Jones’ departure. Also, the less “tread on the tires” is best for any running back trying to make it in the NFL and a year less of wear and tear on Jones’ body is ultimately the best thing for him.
As for Notre Dame, the Irish must move on to its other options in the running back corps.
