After his Junior year of college at the University of Tennessee, Kichwa Jones had a huge decision to make. He needed to decide whether he wanted to declare for the DSFL draft or if he wanted to return to school for his Senior year. On one hand, Kichwa saw the allure in declaring for the draft as his draft stock was likely at the highest it would be after a phenomenal season. He could already envision the contract totaling upwards of 6 million dollars. Additionally, he was almost guaranteed to be an early selection as this wasn’t the most competitive draft class. Kichwa knew that the following year’s draft class would be the largest in the history of the DSFL and that the running back class was absolutely stacked.
On the flip side, Kichwa’s family had always instilled the importance of education and Kichwa knew that it was important for both himself and his family that he earned his degree. It was especially a wise choice in case of injury or if he just didn’t like playing football in the NSFL. Kichwa’s teammates also wanted him to stay; his Junior year, the Vols had come so close to winning the NCAA Championship and Kichwa wanted his last shot at glory.
Ultimately, Kichwa decided to stay at school another year where he earned his degree and won the National Championship. Additionally, Kichwa would go on to be pushed towards greater success by his peers in the Season 22 draft class as it was the first year the Dallas Birddogs existed. Kichwa would not be the same player he was today had he declared for the draft one year earlier.
