I really admire Barrett Jones. He is extremely smart and the best interior lineman in the country. Somehow, he remains humble.

He reminds of Greg McElroy. Greg had already graduated but was taking a very heavy course load his senior year. A reporter asked why such a heavy load and Greg responded. "The University of Alabama is giving me a free education. I would be a fool not to take advantage of it." Barrett Jones is the same way.
