info_outlineFootball is back, baby! It's NFL season, and I am so excited to sit down with someone who embodies resilience and strength, Ben Jones.
Ben, a former NFL offensive lineman, started his journey with the Georgia Bulldogs, moving on to the Houston Texans and later the Tennessee Titans. Despite being one of the toughest individuals I've ever met, Ben is incredibly nice, and I'm thrilled to dive into his life and career today.
Born in a small town, Ben grew up dreaming of becoming a high school football coach, not an NFL player. He had minimal exposure to the wider football world due to the absence of internet and cell phones. "Growing up, it was just hunting, fishing, and high school football games. That was about it," Ben shares.
His father, a Georgia fan who passed away when Ben was just 10, shifted his allegiance from Auburn to Georgia. From then on, it was all about representing Georgia in his hometown.
Ben's path to Georgia and eventually the NFL was anything but easy.
His college recruitment involved attending camps to earn offers because his small town lacked the resources to produce Division 1 SCC football players. But adversity wasn’t new to Ben.
At 10, he not only lost his father but also suffered a skull fracture from a baseball bat accident. Later, in high school, Ben faced osteomyelitis in his shin, needing surgery and 10 weeks of IV antibiotics. Remarkably, he never missed a football game, demonstrating a level of resilience that would define his career.
In the NFL, Ben amassed numerous injuries, three thumb surgeries, collarbone issues, AC joint problems, knee, ankle, and elbow scopes, and multiple MCL and ankle sprains. Yet, his mantra was simple:
"If I can play and practice, I will."
This mindset earned him respect from teammates and trust from coaches. He credits his older brother for instilling in him a relentless work ethic and drive to chase his dreams.
One memorable moment for Ben was achieving 2,000 rushing yards with Derek, emphasizing the contagious nature of winning within a team. Despite the physical toll, he cherished every moment, underscoring the importance of mental toughness in the NFL.
“Mental toughness is more important than the physical aspect. You’re constantly battling those demons, and yet you push through.”
Stepping into a mentorship role, Ben aspired to be more than just a player. “I wanted to help my teammates be their best, whether it was financial advice or lifestyle tips. My wife, my rock, handled the home front, allowing me to focus on supporting my team.”
Ben’s commitment extended beyond the field, being there two hours before and after team meetings, showing younger players the ropes.
Retired yet as busy as ever, Ben now enjoys quality family time, coaching youth sports, and engaging in speaking events. His life epitomizes the essence of perseverance and dedication, making an impact both on and off the field.
So remember, butthole breathers, it’s not just about taking care of your body but your mind if you want to achieve great things.
