==Biography==

'''Maurice Christopher Jones-Drew''' (born [[March 23]], [[1985]] in [[Antioch, California]]) is a current American Football [[running back]] for the [[Jacksonville Jaguars]]. He was drafted in the second round (60th overall) of the [[2006 NFL Draft]]. Drew graduated from [[De La Salle High School (Concord, California)]] and played college football at [[UCLA]].

=== Personal ===
Born Maurice Drew to Andrea and Dana Drew, Maurice was raised by his grandparents, Christina Jones and Maurice Jones.  During his junior year at UCLA, Jones-Drew's grandfather died of a heart attack while watching him play against [[Rice University]].  To honor his late grandfather, Jones-Drew changed his name from Drew to its current form.

=== Collegiate Career ===

Maurice Jones-Drew played his entire collegiate career at [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]] under head coach [[Karl Dorrell]]. Despite being undersized, Jones-Drew led the Bruins in rushing all three years he was on the squad and showed good pass catching ability and big playmaking skills as both a punt and kickoff returner.

His average of 23.2 yards per punt return ranks second in NCAA history.  Jones-Drew also holds a number of UCLA records, including the career all-purpose yardage record (4,688 yards) and the record for rushing yards in a single game (322 against [[University of Washington|Washington]] in 2004).  He is the only Bruin to have ever scored 5 touchdowns in a game and the only one to return four punts for touchdowns in a season.  His senior year he was a consensus All-America selection as an all-purpose back and a first-team All-Pac 10 selection as a punt returner ahead of [[Heisman Trophy]]-winner [[Reggie Bush]].
