    I know its a long shot for Jones but has anyone heard anything on him? Haven't read much of anything coming out of camp. Thanks.

    I've heard quite a bit so far. he looks good at times and not so good at times. typical rook. he's got some tools to work with. my guess would be practice squad unless he makes some huge jumps during preseason games and the rest of camp. then I'm still not sure about this year.:cool:

    Definitely a lot of potential with him, but yeah, its the PS for him this year. He's got some tools to work with though and I think with great coaching he can be special down the road.

    he's had his moments, along with being added to the growing list of people that have abused mike adams........... more will be known during pre-season.

    I read he beat Adams on a bull rush a couple times.

    He's one of the players I want to see in preseason, most likely headed for the PS.

    He REALLY stood out on Backs on Backers. He looks just okay the next day during pass coverage and 11 on 11 drills.

    He looks large and athletic though. Chris Carter has not impressed too much, hasn't made the next step. Why not take a chance on Jones for the 53?

    Ive read/heard the same things everyone else has. He's had really good days and bad days as well. Kind of what you'd expect from an rookie. Unless he shows us something in preseason i'm with the "headed for PS" crowd as of right now. I'd say his future is pretty bright though. :cool:
