Scouting Report: Strengths
- Jones explodes off the line with a quick first step, with agile feet to counter inside and closing burst to finish plays.
- He has the quickness and flexibility to consistently dip and bend around the edge.
- He’s very good with his hands, a technician with the violence, quickness, and the long arms to ward off blockers. Jones has a great motor and enough creativity to make plays late in the down as a pass rusher.
- Challenges inside with quickness and strong hands. Run-and-chase defender who can leave a mark.
- His spin move is already NFL-caliber, and Jones displays a very good motor.
- Possesses accurate snap anticipation and timing to beat blockers off the edge.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Never out of a play, but can get out of control and work himself away from the action.
- Jones lacks ideal length for an edge rusher, and he’d be on the small side for the interior with a little more room on his frame to add weight
- A hard worker with size and bulk limitations .in addition to small hands and short arms.
