Maurice Jones-Drew dropped a subtle hint that he will most likely not miss any time during the regular season. Jones-Drew, a participant in the Sirius XM Celebrity Fantasy Football League, took part in their draft on Thursday and was lucky enough to have the first overall pick. With that pick, he selected a familiar name.

While this appears to be self-serving, it's apparent that Jones-Drew now has no intention of missing any time during the regular season. Why else would he draft himself at No. 1 in a fantasy football draft if he had any intentions of missing a single game? Jaguars fans can probably rest assured that No. 32 will be ready to go come opening day.
