Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has the traits to improve, but Jones gets impatient in his set, lunging and reaching, and generally playing with poor balance at times. Jones is inconsistent with his kick slide.
- Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
- As an outside chance to stick at left tackle, but he might actually fit better on the right side or kicking in to a guard spot.
- Stops his feet after initial contact, relying on length but allowing defender to get the corner or spin inside.
