Jackson, Tennessee -- Five years after playing his final college football game and two years since his graduation, Lane College remains a destination for Jacoby Jones. A member of the National Football League's Houston Texans, Jones was at Lane's chapel service Wednesday and intends to spend most of the week in Jackson.
The Texans — who lead the Tennessee Titans by one game in the AFC's South Division — have the week off.
"I love this place," Jones said of Lane. "It made me a better man, and I appreciate what I have now. "It's not a D-I (Division I) school. We have the same field (Lane Field), training room and locker room. It makes you hungry."
A three-time all-Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection, Jones was a third round selection of the Texans in the 2007 NFL Draft and the 73rd player selected overall.
