closeSt. Augustine's All-America linebacker Kevin Jones has signed a free-agent contract with the Washington Redskins, the team announced Tuesday.
He is the first Falcons player to sign with an NFL team since the college restarted its football program in 2002.
Jones switched from outside to middle linebacker in 2006, and he was chosen to three All-America teams (Daktronics, The Associated Press and SBN Black College) as a senior.

MCNAIR FOCUSED: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair doesn't seem to be distracted by his pending driving under the influence case.
The three-time Pro Bowl passer appeared to be in good shape and threw crisp passes Thursday during the Ravens' voluntary minicamp.
McNair was arrested May 9 in Nashville, Tenn., on a misdemeanor offense often referred to as DUI by consent. It's a Tennessee ordinance that prohibits a vehicle owner from knowingly allowing someone who is intoxicated to drive his or her car.
"What happened in Tennessee is left in Tennessee," McNair said. "My lawyer is going to deal with that."
