D.J. Jones is back and feeling better than ever. After a pair of injury-plagued seasons with North Carolina football, Jones enters his junior year feeling healthier than at any point in 2021. "I’m 110% healthy," Jones said last week. "I feel great. I’m confident and I’m getting even more confident with reps. I feel like I’ll finally be able to just go play now." (Fayetteville Observer)
