Freakish talent, he ran a 1.7 10-yd split.  Also first guy in combine history to have a recorded sac.

The NFL Combine is painfully boring and remarkably unnecessary. But it is football-related so we watch, even though it's a glorified job interview.

On Sunday morning, Mississippi State defensive lineman Chris Jones had one of the most embarrassing job interviews of all time and also proved just how stupid even the most basic details of the event are.

Jones is listed at 6-5 and 305 pounds. People his size are not meant to wear spandex, let alone run in it.

During his attempt at the 40-yard dash, Jones had the dreaded "wardrobe malfunction," with the crotch of his spandex shorts ripping apart. Overcome with shock and confusion, Jones tripped over his own feet and went sliding crotch-first onto the turf.

So not only did Jones expose himself to the entire NFL and its audience, but he now has to deal with a severe case of "turf burn" for quite some time.

Now remember, this is basically a job interview, one televised to the whole world.

Imagine if this happened to a normal, non-athlete person. There is no rebounding from this.

It's hard to imagine a team purposely passing on Jones because his pants split in half, but it's also hard to imagine anyone forgetting about this in the near future.

CBS Sports player profile:

"Jones is still raw in several areas, but it's easy to see the potential due to his foot quickness and body type. Although he shows first-round flashes, it comes in spurts and the impact of his body of work doesn't warrant that high of a selection."

Dick jokes aside, I love that he laughed it off.  May as well have a good laugh when the world sees your junk.  Honestly, it probably hurt his time as he was like "Crap, my spandex blew up and my tally whacker is exposed!"  Then again, it might have spurned him on faster so he could dive on it.

Man, I'm trying hard not to make the jokes, but they are there....

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
