VOICE-OVER SCRIPT:

GREG JONES TRAINS YOUNG FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

THEY WOULD BE SMART TO LISTEN TO HIM.

THE FORMER MICHIGAN STATE LINEBACKER IS ONE OF ONLY 200-ODD PLAYERS TO BE TWICE NAMED A-P ALL-AMERICAN.

SOUNDBITE (English) Greg Jones, Michigan State All-American linebacker:

“They can’t take it from you. And so, it stays there forever. It’s etched in history.”

IT’S ALSO ETCHED FOR NEARLY 2,000 OTHERS WHO HAVE EARNED THE HONOR AT LEAST ONCE.

THE A-P ALL-AMERICA TEAM TURNS 100 THIS YEAR.

SOUNDBITE (English) Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska All-American defensive lineman:

“It’s great to be among those guys. And it’s really for me paying homage to all the other players prior to me that had the success.”

PLAYERS SUCH AS PITT’S HUGH GREEN, ANOTHER FEARSOME D-LINEMAN. AND ONE OF ONLY TWELVE MEN WHO WERE THREE-TIME A-P ALL-AMERICANS.

SOUNDBITE (English) Hugh Green, Pitt All-American defensive end:

“It was competitive. It was very competitive. That’s all you had to do was everybody wait to the end of the year to see if you made AP All-American.”

NOTRE DAME'S 85 A-P FIRST-TEAM PICKS ARE THE MOST OF ANY SCHOOL -- AHEAD OF ALABAMA, OHIO STATE, U-S-C AND OKLAHOMA.

DOZENS OF SCHOOLS HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE.

SOUNDBITE (English) James Laurinaitis, Ohio State All-American linebacker:

“There’s so much, I think, that goes into being named an All-American. Obviously, there’s a lot of work that goes into it. But you have to have a lot of great teammates.”

PLUS, THE SUPPORT OF A-P VOTERS.

FOR THE PAST TWO DECADES, THE TEAMS HAVE BEEN SELECTED BY FIVE-DOZEN MEDIA MEMBERS WHO VOTE IN THE WEEKLY A-P TOP 25 FOOTBALL POLL.

SOUNDBITE (English) Braylon Edwards, Michigan All-American wide receiver:

“The AP was the one I that cared about -- the writers telling me that I was the player that deserved to be All-American. That was the one that I was waiting for.”

AND ONE THAT WILL LAST.

SOUNDBITE (English) Greg Jones, Michigan State All-American linebacker:

“It’s something really cool to tell my kids about. And one day, hopefully, my grandkids.”
