From what I've heard I'm not sure Ty Jones has a deep drive to be great at football ... he's got the physical skills to be very good at football ... not judging as playing sports at a very high level is a ton of work and definitely not for everybody.
But I'm not expecting much from Ty Jones as a Husky going forward. I think there are other options that are all arguably better.
I agree. This is a somewhat stupid and not at all quantifiable metric, but you can get glimpses of that by just looking at players' social media. Ty seems to have a lot of interests outside of football. Maybe he just chooses not to publicize it, but he's rarely posting the same "I'm on that grind" content that you see from so many other players, and his physique is not one of someone who puts in serious hours at the gym. He has a DK Metcalf frame, but he still looks roughly the same as he did when he arrived on campus three years ago.
That's just what I'm seeing (hearing) as someone who studiously observes the male body. Hips in particular.

I would assume having less interests is typically better for maximizing your ability. Workout, film, video games.

Yeah, my guess is Ty Jones makes a small handful of catches this year, a couple dynamic ones that make people say "what if..." but he continues to be unaggressive and run lazy routes. He might not even stick around if he's not with the starters in camp.

Hope he dunks all over my pessimism though.
Man what a difference a year makes. We were talking about how Ty was going to be our best wideout last year and now there’s talk of him not running with the starters. He’s talented but that room is loaded.
