Ronald Jones II wowed USC fans when he suited up in Cardinal and Gold, but he reached a whole new level this weekend with his eye-popping performance for the Buccaneers.
Jones ripped off a 98-yard touchdown run on Sunday — the longest offensive play and longest rush TD in Buccaneers history. He also became just the fourth player in NFL history to score a rush TD of 98+ yards (Derrick Henry, Tony Dorsett, Ahman Green). He finished with 192 rush yards (a new career-high) and 6 receiving yards.
