Draft Note: Ed Jones graduated from Tennessee State and went on to play professional football for the Dallas Cowboys for five years before retiring. During this time Jones became a professional boxer. The San Antonio Spurs tried to select Jones in the eighth round. The NBA disallowed the pick because Jones had been out of school for more than five years. Jones would go on a year later and continue his professional football career with the Dallas Cowboys.
