Former NFL scouting combine star Byron Jones is cautionary tale to ... (USA TODAY)

Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones said on social media that he "can't run or jump" just eight years after the combine. Jones is a cautionary tale.

"It was an honor and privilege to play in the NFL but it came at a regrettable cost I did not foresee," Jones wrote. He’s telling the truth about life in the league.

What Jones did was caution younger players, men about to get poked and prodded and measured at the combine just like he was, about the realities—hell, the nightmares—of NFL life and how playing the sport can destroy the body. How far Jones jumped, or what else he did in that combine, is irrelevant for the moment because what the NFL did with that post, almost certainly unwittingly, was emphasize a point Jones would make on the same day, in his own social media post. For now, at least, he says he can’t do those things. DO NOT take the injections they give you. "DO NOT take the pills they give you. We don’t know exactly what injuries Jones is talking about.

Though it seems likely he’s talking about pain-killing medication.
