With Arkansas still more than a week away from opening spring practice, I thought I’d provide some information about two former Razorbacks quarterbacks- Matt Jones and Casey Dick.

  Dick spent seven weeks working out in Nashville to prepare for Arkansas’ Pro Day, where he hoped last week to show NFL scouts that he has a stronger arm and is faster than some of them might have thought heading into the workout.

  Here is my story on Dick’s attempts to make an NFL roster. Note the part from his agent saying that the Dallas Cowboys are among the teams interested in getting a better look at the quarterback.

  And then there is Jones, who’s already in the NFL – for now. Here is a short item on his release from the Washington County Jail on Saturday morning. Also, I didn’t have the space to run all of Jones’ statement to the media about his jail stint, so here it is in full:

  “I am on my way back to Jacksonville to join my team and to fulfill my contractual obligations to the Jaguars by being in offseason camp by Monday. The past few days have been very difficult for me and for my family, but I accept full responsibility for putting myself in this position. I didn’t break any laws by drinking a couple of beers on the golf course, but I did break a rule I promised to abide by when I was admitted to the Washington County Drug Court program. I made a mistake, and it won’t happen again. I apologized to Judge Gunn in court and do so again and also apologize to the staff and all those people at the drug court who have done so much to help me in recent months. The drug court program has been good for me and good for my future. Other than this one mistake, I have done everything that has been asked of me in the drug court program and have learned a lot, which will benefit me in the future. It is my intention to successfully complete the drug court program and I am fully committed to doing so.”
