Scouting Report: Strengths
- As a pass rusher, Jones shows quickness off the line and has the fluid athleticism and flexibility to bend the edge.
- With a powerful lower body and the ability to hold up at the point of attack as a run defender, he is remarkably instinctive.
- He’s a high-effort pass rusher with an impressive combination of length and speed.
- He’s best right now against the run, playing with a low pad level despite his relatively tall frame, and he has the violent hands to win at the point of attack.
- Offers some versatility, rushing from a two-and three-point stance with the playing speed to stand up in space. Flashes strength as a bull rusher and his energy doesn't plateau.
- Jones can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, he also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- While Jones moves well laterally, he doesn’t always get there in pursuit.
- Jones doesn't have the elite quickness or flexibility to flatten off the edge against NFL blockers and might have to add bulk to be a 3-4 defense five-technique, or strong-side end in a 4-3.
- Has a slender frame and lacks ideal power and flexibility. Struggles to shed and rarely disengages after initial contact.
