Linebacker with muscular build and an unrelenting desire to chase after the football. Muasau plays with a phenomenal motor and has the instincts and recognition to get the jump on blocking schemes. He plays with good initial quickness but lacks extended pursuit speed in space. He will take shots downhill to spoil the action, but teams will have to live with missed tackles and inconsistent leverage in his pursuit. Muasau can handle some basic short-zone coverage but could get in trouble if the coverage expands into larger spaces. He has the potential to make the back end of a roster as a late-round pick or priority free-agent addition.
Future off-ball linebacker who plays with full-time tenacity and boundless energy. Jones’ value will mostly come as a special-teams ace who will play in all five phases. With kickoff rules changing, Jones deserves to receive additional attention thanks to his production on coverage teams during his college career. He flows hard to the football as a run defender and is urgent to find and tackle the ball-carrier, but he might fall below average as a coverage option. If a team can become comfortable with him as a backup linebacker, he could make an NFL roster as a core special-teamer.
