Aggie Flashback with former A&M DB Toya Jones

Key quotes from Toya Jones interview

"I believed in my coaches and it was also a process for me, coming from a small school. In high school we may have four or five plays, at A&M we could have four or five hundred. That’s why I liked special teams early on because I could just line up and hit somebody."
 
"Now fans are a little spoiled with the offense but back then we were a defensive team. We thought if we don’t let them score we could win on a field goal. Those are the games we played because we didn’t have that offense that could score left and right, they were all close."
 
"One year against Missouri, Sean Slocum said, 'somebody needs to make a play' and I thought why not me? The guy was covering me and I threw him into the returner. The ball hit him and I recovered it. We couldn't give up and someone had to make something had to happen for us to win."
 
"These days I'm a married man living in Houston working for the government. Before that, I was in Vegas working in restaurant stuff. My wife has been in school to become a nurse practitioner so we've waited on having kids."

"I knew I was better at track than football, but there is no money in the sport professionally unless you're one of the big guys. You might as well just go get a job, so I decided to pursue football professionally because of that but also because I just loved it."
 
"Kevin Sumlin is an amazing coach and has built the excitement back up. Now, not only are you excited to see the offense but you think we can win every game."
