"They probably just looked at my size and thought they could manhandle me and push me around, but that's something I pride myself on, just being physical," Jones said. "I think when you are my size or smaller that you definitely have to be even more physical than somebody that's big because you're really not intimidating anybody with your size. It's just coming out there and trying to be scrappy, especially with the bigger receivers."

Jones had his second interception of the season Saturday defending Wilson in the end zone as Alabama beat Mississippi State 25-20. He was in Wilson's face all afternoon, even when Dak Prescott completed eight passes to the 6-foot-5 receiver from Birmingham for 91 yards.

Hopefully he'll stay for his senior year.
