This is huge news for both Jones and the Mississippi State family who will be supporting him all the way. He was understandably frustrated yesterday, and I think many of us were, that he wasn't taken in the first round.

Unfortunately life works in mysterious ways, just a quicker way to my second contract

I made the decision last night that I'll die for it, just to show my city what it takes to be alive for it.... #Houston #M.O.E

But the five-star 6'6" defensive lineman who came to Starkville in 2013 had a pretty good career for the Maroon and White and now he is off to central Missouri to be make a lot of money and play a lot of football. And so, congrats Chris, let's celebrate!
