PLAYER ANALYSIS
Long but lean Will linebacker prospect who enjoyed a season full of production as a graduate transfer from Ohio state. Jones has the burst and bend to disrupt the run from backside pursuit and attack the pocket as an edge rusher/blitzer. His impressive 2019 production came as a 3-4 edge, which he has little chance of playing as a pro unless he gets much bigger and much stronger. He's a quality athlete, but lacks plus aggression and toughness against the run and he hasn't proven he can be counted on in coverage. The special-teams experience is a positive but he may not have enough checks in his favor to make it as an off-ball linebacker.
