Episode 23 | A conversation w/ Tyler Jones

In Tha Field Podcast

I wanted to have a conversation with my brother, Akron, Ohio's own, Tyler Jones. Him and I were roommates at Tiffin University and roommates when we would travel for games so we had a great relationship on and off the field. On this episode, we have a conversation about the way he grew up and how playing multiple sports at a young age was a good thing for him.

We also get into the impact LeBron James had on the city as Tyler was able to witness that first hand growing up. Being from the same city as arguably one of the best basketball players ever, had everyone wanting to play basketball. Which Tyler did, played basketball, but knew that football was his calling.

Tyler talks about a personal loss in losing his older sister (Ebony Jones, RIP) right before he went off to college. Experiencing that loss at a time where he forced to grow up by being away from home and in college now, he had to grow up quicker than he thought, which he did! I've always said that Tyler is one of the smartest football players I have ever played with. He carried that with pride and it continues today as he is giving back to the community he grew up in, Akron, OH with being a football coach and helping speak and coach at youth camps for CFL QB Antonio Pipkin.

We hope you all enjoy this great conversation!
