    Rookie most likely to have the "Devin Hester" effect

    Another third-round pick who has made an instant impact during the preseason is Jacoby Jones of the Houston Texans. The small college star from Lane College has dazzled as a receiver/returner during the first three preseason games. He has returned punts for scores in consecutive games and added another receiving touchdown. The Texans have started to use him on reverses and other gadget plays in an effort to get him the ball. It remains to be seen if Jones can become the starter opposite Andre Johnson, but his preseason performance has made it obvious that he is a playmaker who will make an impact during his first year.

    SI picked us 4th in the AFC South. I think they don't see us coming. That should make this season a lot of fun, assuming they're as good as I think they can be.

    way to go out on a limb there si. tell us something we don't already know. if this article had come out before pre-season, maybe it would be more impressive, but we all know what jj can do now. steal of the draft! ;)

    Just to bring up a point, yesterday on 104.5 "the zone" sports radio in Nashville, they had a caller calling about how do they go about evaluating talent in college and how do they prioritize it....It seemed like another stupid question till he stated: "How in the heck, do the Texans grab a player (Jacoby Jones) from our own backyard from little Lane college and now he seems like a steal when our Titans stink up the draft"....

    I thought I would let my fellow Texans fans know about this...pretty funny... :)

    word is getting out quick...
