Giants safety Chad Jones has a fall-back career that may be more appealing after 12 leg surgeries, and counting, presumably cost him speed that's so necessary for a football player on defense.
Jones suffered career-threatening injuries in a one-car automobile accident last June.
He could turn back to baseball.
A 13th-round draft pick of the Astros in 2007 and the Brewers' 50th-rounder in 2010, Jones was a flame-throwing left-handed pitcher on LSU's 2009 NCAA title baseball team.
A reliever, Jones posted a 2.70 ERA with seven strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings as a sophomore, and made three starts as a true freshman outfielder and designated hitter in 2008.
"I'm up for anything," he told the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
