Reasonably notable former football player —Preceding unsigned comment added by Borednow (talk • contribs) 05:27, 10 April 2007

Players who go professional, no matter how short their careers, are generally held to be notable. The fact that the article is a stub is irrelevant. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 09:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per RamblinWreck.com

I'm making some notes for future editing purposes. And do not delete this article. THIS IS THE GREATEST Georgia Tech quarterback IN THE 100+ YEARS OF GT FOOTBALL. Deleting this article would be like deleting Johnny Unitas to Louisville or Herschel Walker to UGA.

Link 1 - "Jones, a second-team all-ACC choice in 1990 and 1991 and the conference Rookie of the Year in 1989, finished his career as the ACC and Tech career leader in total offense. He now ranks fourth in the ACC, second at Tech. Jones also finished his career as the Tech career passing leader with 8,441 yards (now second to Joe Hamilton), and set season records at Tech for pass completions, passing yardage and total offense (all since broken). He still holds the Tech career record for most passes completed (652) and attempted (1,217). A team captain in 1992, Jones is one of only three four-year starters at quarterback in Tech history, and the Yellow Jackets compiled a record of 31-15-1 during his career. A native of Thomasville, Ga., Jones now lives in Atlanta."
