Maurice Christopher Jones-Drew is a professional football running back currently signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL). He was Jacksonville's 60th overall pick during the 2006 NFL Draft, out of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Despite being undersized for any athlete in general, Jones-Drew was drafted by the Jaguars purely on the account of his college performance at UCLA. On one occasion as a UCLA Bruin, Jones-Drew scuttled down along the sideline for 83 yards, for a total of 176 yards on only 18 carries that sealed UCLA's victory against Arizona State.
Jones-Drew had a particularly strong rookie season at Jacksonville. On December 10, 2006 against Indianapolis, Jones-Drew set a franchise record with 166 rushing yards and 303 All-Purpose Yards, which included a 93-yard kickoff return for touchdown.
In 2007, Jones-Drew saw a decline in his stats as his role was diminished. Still, he compiled 816 yards on 181 carries and 10 rushing touchdowns (including the postseason). He also had 970 return yards and a touchdown.
