Jones-Drew wasn't sure how much he weighed during mini-camp, but since doctors have limited his workouts following surgery to repair a Lisfranc fracture in his left foot in December, he's surely heavier than the 217 pounds he played at last season. The former UCLA standout figures once he can start running every day in Florida's heat and humidity — he's sprinting every other day right now — those extra few pounds will start to shed. "I'm going to put pressure on myself to come back in great shape and be the best player I have been or even better," said Jones-Drew, who hopes to running full speed by June. "That's just me pushing myself." For the first time in eight years, Jones-Drew is in Jacksonville for the team's offseason conditioning program. Given his age (he's 28) and his contract status, it's no surprise Jones-Drew would like to get in the best shape of his career. Jones-Drew led the league in rushing in 2011. He had with 414 yards and a touchdown last season before missing the final 10 games with the foot injury.
