If you look at the data in the context of Jones being a freshman pushed to the top of the depth chart right out of the gate, I think that his statline is more forgiveable. He started the season nicely (6 catches for 19 yds a pop and 2 TDs in the first 2 games) before slowly fading over the next six weeks. Then he hit a spurt again starting with Navy when we had a rash of injuries at the receiver position (10 catches over 2 games, 1 for a TD, but only 8.4 ypc) before completely dropping off the map. I don't remember the particulars, but he didn't even play against Utah. So I don't know if there might have been a minor injury or perhaps him not being quite ready physically for a full season -- no one would have confused him with Julio Jones out there -- but I'm still fairly bullish on Jones given that he still has most of his career in front of him.
