The Facts: Only 21, Jones’ rookie year was a disaster. Jones lost yards whenever he touched the football for the Bucs last season. Then he lost his confidence. “Rojo had 23 carries on the season and 13 of those he got hit at or behind the line of scrimmage,’’ RBs coach Todd McNair said. “I think once we start getting him to the second level clean. You know, a guy comes out of college, USC is a high-profile program. A second round pick and he doesn’t have a lot of success. I’ve seen it happen before and his confidence goes way down. With him its baby steps and working our approach.’’

Diehards Line: The second-pick from Southern Cal was supposed to be the Bucs’ home run hitter, a big-play running back who had explosive runs for the Trojans. He finished with 44 yards on 23 carries (1.9 yard average) and one touchdown. He caught seven passes for 33 yards. Jones is expected to be the No. 2 tailback behind Peyton Barber, the team’s leading rusher with 871 yards and five touchdowns. This time he knows what to expect. We'll see if he can do more with his opportunities this time around.
