Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s a pure athlete, loose-limbed and flexible. Jones has the speed to pick up yardage in scramble situations.
- Sees the field very well when the play breaks down and occasionally changes plays at the line.
- He has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
- Ball placement is a strength. Jones has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Physically, Jones is a natural athlete who plays with the balance and light feet to float in the pocket.
- He’s an athlete who runs well and must be accounted for in the read-option game.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Jones has a bad habit of fading and throwing off his back foot when the pocket gets muddled, and Jones is too often all arm when throwing on the move, sacrificing accuracy.
- His arm is good but not great, and he loses accuracy and velocity when he is moved off his spot.
- He is slight of frame, which is problematic for a dual-threat quarterback. Jones has marginal height for the pocket, and there’s not much room to add weight (NFL physicality will be an issue, especially if he’s going to use his legs on a consistent basis).

For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
