Stefanski Can’t Stop Gushing Over Bulldog-Born Back
Atlanta’s new head coach Kevin Stefanski is already raving about former Georgia running back Cash Jones, whom the Falcons snagged as an undrafted free agent. OTAs have kicked off, and Stefanski lauded Jones as a “very, very smart football player” capable of lining up in multiple spots and contributing on special teams. Despite Jones’s primary role as a running back at Georgia, his third-down work showcased receiving skills that have Atlanta experimenting with him at wide receiver. The move follows a broader Falcons trend of tapping into Georgia’s talent pipeline, having recently added Zachariah Branch, Leonard Floyd, and several linebackers from Athens to their roster.
Who knew the secret to Falcons glory was undrafted players who can catch, run, and memorize playbooks faster than a coffee-fueled intern? Stefanski’s praise suggests Jones might be the franchise’s new Swiss Army knife—just what you need when your quarterback can’t throw straight or your kicker can’t find the ball. Special teams stardom? That’s the NFL equivalent of comic relief in a tragedy—overlooked, underrated, and occasionally saving the day. Now, if only the rest of the team could match Jones’s brainpower instead of playing hide-and-seek with playoff aspirations, Atlanta might finally break its “almost” streak.
