Former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones said Tuesday he's speaking out against the NCAA's rules now to give a voice to college players who don't have the freedom to express their views as he does after declaring for the NFL draft.
Jones made his comments in an interview with ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike program, a day after he had posted a series of tweets about the NCAA's rules limiting players.
"I was kind of shied away from making a statement like that outside of my teammates because I was under the NCAA rules and I was kind of wary of the consequences," he said, explaining why he didn't make his views known when he was an active player.
