ESPN Mosley: Felix Jones and family reaction at being selected

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley

Cowboys first-round selection Felix Jones was enjoying his draft party in Tulsa until the TV went out. A local TV reporter was there to document the event, and he captured footage of two men rigging up what appeared to be a generator from the early 1940s.

By all accounts, Jones is a tremendous kid and it was fun to watch his family's reaction to the big announcement. He's the latest in a long line of tremendous athletes to come out of north Tulsa. Waymon Tisdale is still a frequent visitor and R.W. McQuarters of the New York Giants is also from Jones' neighborhood. Last year, the Saints chose Tulsa native Robert Meachem in the first round.
