NC State safety Josh Jones goes to Packers in second round

N.C. State safety Josh Jones was picked No. 61 in the NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers.

Jones had a difficult sophomore season at N.C. State in 2015 but bounced back during his junior season. As a result, his draft stock rose. He led the Wolfpack with a team-best 109 tackles and three interceptions last season.

Jones, at 6-1, 220 pounds, ran a 4.41 seconds in the 40-yard dash, and pushed 20 repetitions on the bench press.

"I'm speechless! Lord thank you so much!!!!!!!!" Jones said in a tweet.
