MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Former Alabama State standout Terren Jones grew up idolizing big offensive tackles such as Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden and former St. Louis Ram Orlando Pace.
These days, Jones, a 6-foot-8, 338-pounder, hears from the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, the team Ogden played for during most of his 12-year NFL career, three or four times a week, he said.
Jones will participate in his first workout for an NFL team Friday, when scouts from the Atlanta Falcons come to Montgomery to watch him showcase his talents less than a week before the NFL Draft begins next Thursday.
"I was like, you know, 'Man, I want to play in the NFL one day and now it's 10 days away," he said, recalling his childhood dreams which could soon be realized.
