Let's take a moment to appreciate Donnie Jones. The Philadelphia Eagles punter re-signed with the team this offseason after originally signing a one-year deal in 2013. Jones is back and he's appeared to be in top form during training camp.
So far no other than "because we can", let's celebrate Donnie Jones. We'll do that by look at some of his tweets from the @Eagles Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon. Here are the highlights.
BOTH. -DLB RT @Orourkenj: #askaneagle #donnielongball - pizza or ice cream

Excellent choice.
No. I started punting in middle school b/c I didn't like hitting in fball RT @ZachOtte: Did you ever play soccer to get a boot like that??
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 30, 2014
Some may say soft, but I say smart.
Our goal is for every punt to land inside the 10. DLB RT @JimmyForte28: how many punts inside the 10 this year? #AskAnEagle
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 30, 2014
Not impossible.
Any of Swayze's fight scenes. -DLB RT @James_Fayleez: #DonnieLongBall #AskAnEagle Favorite scene in ROADHOUSE? pic.twitter.com/YnMvLLKmIn

Easy choice.
86 yds in college. 80 in the pros. #DonnieLongBall RT @ChickWithVans: What's your longest punt ever? #AskAnEagle
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 30, 2014
Donnie hit a 70 yarder last year so I'd say he's still got it.

Zeee-ro. I was the guy they put in last minute when we were losing. -DLB RT @slando24: being 6"2 you have any basketball talent?
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 30, 2014

Backup quarterback. Nice salary. No pressure. -DLB RT @neve33: if you could play in other position, which would you choose & why??
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 30, 2014
...like I said: smart.
Definitely Alex. Have you seen those biceps? Cc: @JonDorenbos RT @Kschaffer36: who do you think would win in a fight you or Alex Henery?
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 30, 2014
Good one.
#DonnieFootball, #DonnieLongBall, either is fine with me. -DLB RT @Tee_ehL: are you ready to assume the nickname of "Donnie football"
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 30, 2014
I personally think Donnie Football is still the best. DLB doesn't do it for me but whatever.
Bennie Logan (Go Tigers!). Definitely not photo bomb Fletch. -DLB RT @KURDSWAG: who's you're closest #Eagles friend pic.twitter.com/HdonZBbA1F

Love Donnie campaigning for free beer from the @Eagles account.
All right, time to get better. Thanks for hanging out with me. I may have to get a Twitter sometime. Go Eagles. #DonnieLongBall

OK, we need to make this Donnie Jones football twitter thing happen.
