Scouting Report: Strengths
- His ball skills are very good. Jones tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when Jones isn’t targeted often.
- His length and leaping ability allow him to high-point the ball and make plays. He would have had bigger interception numbers in college had opposing quarterbacks not gone out of their way to avoid him.
- Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
- Jones tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.
- Has quick feet and excellent change-of-direction ability, capable of mirroring quickness underneath.
- Can track the ball downfield and gets his head around when playing in a trail position, and he shows excellent ball skills when breaking on a route. He’s a plus tackler in run support as well.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’ll draw plenty of flags early on with his playing style. Jones is hesitant when facing the action in zone coverage.
- Vulnerable to big plays trying to bait the quarterback.
- Lacks elite speed to recover if beaten on double move. Ducks his head and swipes too often on open-field tackles.
