Landry Jones

A version of this story about Caleb Landry Jones first appeared in the Race Begins issue of TheWrap's awards magazine. Rod Lurie's harrowing and heartfelt combat film 'The Outpost' is full of buff actors like Scott Eastwood and Orlando Bloom playing real-life members of the U.S. Military – but it's the slightest, most timid-looking actor of the bunch, Caleb Landry Jones, who gives. Landry Jones is a Aries and was born in The Year of the Serpent Life. Landry Jones was born in New Mexico, United States on Tuesday, April 4, 1989 (Millennials Generation). He is 31 years old and is a Aries. Landry Jones is an American football quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). School: Oklahoma. Position: QB Draft: 4th round, 115th overall of the 2013 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. More bio, uniform, draft info. Matthew Landry Jones (born April 4, 1989) is an American football quarterback who is a free agent.He played college football at Oklahoma, and was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth round (115th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Landry Jones heard the question about running the football and got a little twinkle in his eye.

Thing was, the query wasn't for him but rather for his running back teammate.

'I thought you were talking to me for a second,' Jones told the reporter.

Jones smiled.

'I thought you were talking about my scrambles,' he said Sunday after the XFL Dallas Renegades logged their first win of the season. 'That is the most proud I have ever been in my life. That is the longest scramble that I've ever had.'

Then, he smiled some more.

Jones, if you'll remember, wasn't much of a smiler during his OU days. He didn't laugh much. Didn't crack jokes. Didn't look like he was having all that much fun really. The former Sooner quarterback was stoic back then, even trending toward robotic.

That made it even more fun to watch him last weekend after the Renegades' win. Whether on the sidelines or in the locker room — we see it all during the XFL broadcasts — you could tell he was happy after the game.

And it was darn near impossible not to be happy for him.

'Yeah, it felt good,' he said earlier this week by telephone from Dallas. 'The more and more I played, the more comfortable I felt for sure.'

Jones hadn't started a game in 777 days — and there was a time during that drought he didn't know if he'd ever play again.

Jones was drafted by Pittsburgh in 2013 and spent the next few years backing up Ben Roethlisberger and making an occasional start when the franchise quarterback was injured. It wasn't the most stable situation — being a backup never is — but by the start of the 2018 season, Jones felt his spot was secure.

Then, minutes before the cut-day deadline, he got the call he was being let go.

He worked over the next few months to latch onto a team, even spending a few weeks on Jacksonville's roster. But in the months after the season ended, he began thinking about life after football. Living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with wife, Whitney, a former OU basketball player, and their three children, he took a job with a construction company, learning about estimates and sales, doing demo and driving a dump truck.

Even after spending a couple months with the Raiders last offseason, he found his career trending away from football. Part of him was OK with that; he enjoyed his new normal.

But part of him missed football.

'I had heard about the XFL awhile back, so that was always kind of in my back pocket,' Jones said. 'But also, I wanted to kind of prepare myself and like, ‘OK, what if? What if it never happens?''

But the XFL did happen, and Jones was the first player signed by the league.

Even though fledgling football leagues are never sure, he came into a good situation, joining a team that practices and plays about half an hour from his house. Playing for Bob Stoops again in an Air Raid offense was pretty sweet, too.

But then came another setback. Jones injured his knee and missed all of the Renegades' training camp. Even though Jones was cleared to play the opener, Stoops decided to sit him and give him another week to heal and prepare.

Still, Jones only practiced three times before starting last weekend, and one of those practices was a walk through.

'I was pretty nervous,' Jones admitted. 'You wish you would have got a full training camp. You wish you would have gotten more practices. I've never been injured like that, then having one week of practice and going straight to a game.

Nfl blitz. NFL Blitz is a series of American football themed video games originally released by Midway featuring National Football League (NFL) teams. It began as a 1997 arcade game NFL Blitz that was ported to home consoles and spawned a series of sequels. NFL Blitz, that's where. This is the newest football game to hit the N64 and PSX, and it is a direct port from the arcade game. But since I never play arcade games, I just have to take their word that this is true.

'I've always felt like I've been prepared. So, I was pretty nervous about it.'

Jones was rusty early, throwing a first-quarter interception and missing a couple throws, including at least one that seemed a for-sure touchdown.

'He was getting frustrated in the first half,' Stoops said after the game. 'I said, ‘Look, man, just hang in there. It'll come. You haven't played in a while.''

After another interception early in the second half, Jones started to settle in. He not only made good decisions but also made better throws. He finished the day 28 of 40 for 305 yards and one touchdown in the Dallas win.

Jones hopes to build on that performance Saturday at Seattle. Having that game Sunday at Los Angeles and another week of practice gives him a different outlook than he had only a week ago.

'I just think confidence wise, realizing I can take a hit and my knee's fine and I feel good,' he said. 'Just getting over that — the fear is worse than the actual hits.'

And Jones did take some shots. His resilience got the attention of his coach.

'The old man … ' Stoops said as he pointed to the 30-year-old Jones, causing hoots and hollers in the locker room after the game, 'hung in there, got up and kept rolling. Took some shots.'

Jones smiled at that.

'Old man hasn't played in a couple years,' Stoops said.

'A long time,' Jones replied with another smile.

Landry Jones admits the ups and downs of the past few years have changed his perspective.

His enjoyment, too.

'You never know when your last play is going to be,' he said. 'Make the most of every opportunity. That's kind of how I felt about it, even out of the gate.

'I'm just gonna let it go and play aggressively and see what happens.'

Caleb Landry Jones (born December 7, 1989) is an American actor and musician, known for his roles as Banshee in X-Men: First Class (2011), Jeremy Armitage in Get Out (2017), Red Welby in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), and Ty Carter in The Outpost.^[1]

Early life[edit]

Jones was born in Garland, Texas, the son of Patrick and Cindy Jones.^[2][3] As a child, his family relocated to the nearby city of Richardson, where he was raised, and where he later met Robert Hudson and formed the experimental folk rock band, Robert Jones.^[4][5] After finding some success as an actor, Jones relocated to Los Angeles to further pursue his career in film.

Career[edit]

After some small, sometimes uncredited roles in such popular films as No Country for Old Men and Superbad, Jones began to receive work in television, appearing in Friday Night Lights as Jimmy Adler and in Breaking Bad as Louis. Jones then had supporting roles in The Last Exorcism, released in 2010, and X-Men: First Class, released in 2011. The following year saw the release of Contraband, the English-language remake of award-winning Icelandic film Reykjavík-Rotterdam, and Byzantium, both of which featured Jones in supporting roles. That year, he had his first starring role in Antiviral, the feature-film debut from writer-director Brandon Cronenberg, the son of Canadian horror director David Cronenberg.

Jones has continued to appear in supporting roles in both independent and mainstream films. In 2017, he appeared in American Made, The Florida Project, Get Out, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. All three films received nominations at the 90th Academy Awards; the latter two films were both nominated for Best Picture.

Jones released his debut studio album, The Mother Stone, on May 1, 2020.^[6] It was recorded in Los Angeles and released through the Brooklyn-based Sacred Bones Records.^[7][8]
