Just how good is Jesuit alumnus and breakout NFL rookie Deion Jones ’12? Well, if you ask freshmen Marco Lagos and Zach Haydel pictured here, he’s as good as gold. Displayed outside the Resource Center in the Hall of Honors is the commemorative Golden Football Jesuit has received for Jones’ Super Bowl LI appearance with the Atlanta Falcons. This is Jesuit’s second football received from the Super Bowl High School Honor Roll, a program started last year to honor the communities which shaped every NFL player ever to compete in the Super Bowl. Steve Foley ’71  returned to Jesuit in January 2016 to speak at morning assembly and bring to Carrollton and Banks the golden football for his two Super Bowl appearances with the Denver Broncos.
