[11] While running the 40-yard dash, Jones had a wardrobe malfunction that exposed his genitalia before falling to the ground to fix the issue. This went viral on social media. [12] He attended Mississippi State's Pro Day, but decided he was satisfied with his combine performance and only performed positional drills.
