While USM used him in a variety of ways, Hemby fits best as an old-school box safety with an aggressive demeanor. He has the stopping power to take on big running backs with success in run support and Hemby's physical profile makes him suited to handle man cover duties against tight ends. However, his lack of recognition and desired coverage traits should limit what teams ask of him. He has a chance to become a capable special teams talent, which improves his chances of making a roster as a backup.
Jones was moved around the field in 2020 in an attempt to get him the ball in a variety of spots. Ultimately, he lacks the long speed to threaten defenses and doesn't play with enough urgency as a route runner, which could lead to him wearing coverage around the field. He's OK in the catch-and-run quick game underneath but the athletic traits might fail to impress in the pros for a player who projects as a limited possession receiver.
