Draft Profile: Bio
Emery Jones from Catholic High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Jones opted to join LSU.In 2022 as a freshman Jones saw action in 12 games and played a total of 828 snaps for the Tigers. He allowed a disappointing 31 QB hurries, one QB hit, and 5 sacks while playing at right tackle.
As a sophomore in 2023 he played in 12 games and a total of 708 snaps. He conceded a disappointing 15 QB hurries, one QB hit, and 2 sacks while playing most of his snaps at right tackle.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Understands angles and plays with good leverage. Jones has long arms and heavy hands, using them effectively in pass protection, and Jones has a strong enough initial punch to get an edge on quick sets.
- He thrives on physicality, often out-grappling bigger defensive linemen and winning in the phone booth with tenacity and upper-body strength.
- Has the feet to adjust when he anticipates what's coming. Effective trapping and bends at the knees with adequate core strength to absorb the bull rush. Can clear a path at the second level if he hits the target.
- He’s especially light on his feet considering his size, a fluid mover who has natural balance as he kick-slides and sets. He has the long arms to ward off pass rushers and send them flying past the pocket.
- In the run game, he shows good burst off the line of scrimmage, with the ability to win at the point of attack. Jones has enough speed and athleticism to move to the second level and land blocks.
- Exhibits good patience in pass protection, sitting back in his set rather than leaning and lunging.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Stops his feet after initial contact, relying on length but allowing defender to get the corner or spin inside.
- Often gets too high in his sets, sacrificing some of his power, and Jones doesn’t show great coordination between his upper and lower body when sliding back in pass protection.
- Jones seems too focused on winning with his hands, too often stopping his feet. Jones also plays with poor balance in the run game, lunging into contact rather than sinking his hips and delivering a block.
