Jacoby Jones is still running. The Texans 3rd round draft pick out of of Division 2 Lane College continues to be the highlight maker for the team this preseason.

For many fans, it’s “good riddance,” but is that fair? Is he the reason the Texans played like a Junior High flag football team this season or is he a scapegoat?
