Former USF OT Kenyatta "Bear" Jones, the first Bull ever selected in the NFL draft, has passed away in Colorado, his mother confirmed Saturday.
Jessica Hadley-Brown, heading out the door of her Marion County home to catch a plane for Colorado, said her son died of cardiac arrest. Mr. Jones was 39.
"Just a fun-loving guy, man, like a gentle giant," said former Bulls FB Keith Williams, a teammate of Mr. Jones on USF's inaugural 1997 team. "But on that field, he took care of business."
A Gainesville native who starred at Eastside High, Mr. Jones — listed at 6-foot-4, 308 pounds as a Bulls senior — played four seasons for USF, earning second-team Division I-AA All-Independent team honors in 1998.
A fourth-round pick of the Patriots in the 2001 NFL draft, he spent parts of four seasons in the NFL and later played one season (2008) for the Tampa Bay Storm in the Arena Football League.
