An Aquinas Institute grad and current Los Angeles Rams linebacker, Jamir Jones, made a big play in the middle of a Thursday Night Football game in Seattle. Jones broke through the middle of the Seattle Seahawks special teams unit to block a punt off the leg of Seahawks punter Michael Dickson. The ball went flying toward's Seattle's own 10-yard line. Dickson scooped up the still-spinning ball and punted it over again. Initially, the refs threw a penalty flag as they thought Dickson may have crossed the line of scrimmage with the second punt, which you can't do. The flag was eventually picked up, and the punt counted. The video of the play has been seen by more than one million people on the NFL's page alone. Jones graduated from Aquinas in 2016.
