Evan Silva ‏@evansilva
Heard reliably that UDFA receiver Dwight Jones, from UNC, has quit the #Texans. May explain interest in Sims-Walker.

Kubiak: WR Dwight Jones only player missing OTAs today. Didn't show. Not an injury thing. (Voluntary.-but not good for UDFA)

Wow not sure what to make of this, a lot of people will probably give Dwight hate for this but if he doesn't have love for the game anymore or would rather do something else with his life then that's his decision to make.

WOW...this would be a sad end to what was once a very promising career. Hope he finds what he wants to do and successful at it!

Yep. Tough to read stories like this after hearing that he's quit.
Then again, we don't seem to know yet the circumstances for his departure although 'quitting' under just about any circumstances in the situation he was in can't be good.

The Daily Tar Heel :: Dwight Jones makes impact for Tar Heels after long journey to UNC

Jones road from Burlington’s Cummings High School to stardom in Chapel Hill has had its obstacles. And in order to handle everything he’s faced, Jones has needed those coffee table-sized hands.

Texans back at work, but with one fewer wide receiver

Dwight Jones, an undrafted rookie out of North Carolina told the Texans he no longer wanted to play football.

I really wonder what flag went up that deterred all but one scout from attending his pro day.
Because you can't tell me Jones didn't have the talent/tools to merit mid- to late-round selection over a lot of those guys taken.
There has to be more here than meets the eye.

It didn't help that his agent told scouts the wrong time for his pro day. All kinds of face palms involved in this story.
