I want to be a Christian who happens to play football,'" Jones said. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:"Football is not who I am. It's what I do."

In fact, I worked with his sister for several years. Small world, Lee. Bill's father and my mom's father were brothers. I never knew him while he was coaching at UNA, but met him at a few gatherings after his retirement. Odd thing is I didn't realize Barrett was his grandson for quite some time. Mom kind of lost track of Rex's family after he moved to Memphis. Title: Re: In Tide star Barrett Jones' family, football hasn't come first..........
