This from an article on how well Byron Jones is playing:
The reality is the Cowboys probably wouldn’t have drafted Wilcox if current college and pro scouting director Will McClay was running the 2013 draft.
That’s because McClay prefers for the Cowboys to draft productive players from Power 5 conferences. Wilcox spent one season playing safety at Georgia Southern, and he’s spent three seasons with the Cowboys learning the nuances of the position.
McClay was the guy who drafted Byron...from UCONN.
It ticked me off when in the very next paragraph ESPN didn't name UCONN as the college that Byron attended instead they just say:
Jones, who played cornerback and safety in college, has made a smooth transition and defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli has called him one of the best rookies he’s ever had.
