NFL fans are in stitches over Dre’Mont Jones’ hilarious ‘Sunday Night Football’ player intro that was seemingly cut off on the NBC broadcast.
For every ‘Sunday Night Football’ broadcast, NBC has the offensive and defensive starters on both teams introduce themselves with the college that they attended. Dre’Mont Jones, like several ex-Ohio State Buckeye stars, began his intro with “THE.”
Usually, Buckeye products will say, “The Ohio State University.” But it appears here that Jones’ SNF player intro was cut off after he uttered the first word:

According to the Ohio State library website, folks began referring to the school as “The Ohio State University” to prevent confusion with Oklahoma State University and Oregon State University, which also carry the “OSU” abbreviations.
The 27-year-old Jones played at Ohio State from 2015 to 2018, earning First-team All-Big Ten honors in 2018. He played for the Denver Broncos from 2019 to 2022 before signing with the Seahawks last year.
