NFL Draft: Cyrus Jones selected 60th Overall by Patriots

ICYMI: A’Shawn Robinson Selected 46th Overall by Lions

For his entire career Alabama head coach, Nick Saban, has been known as a bit of a defensive back guru and considering that he had 10 Tide defensive backs drafted since he came to Alabama he has certainly earned that title. Cyrus Jones is the next in a long line of great Bama defensive backs to get drafted. Jones was drafted in the second round by the New England Patriots as their first pick of the draft.

Jones started his career as a receiver before transitioning to cornerback as a sophomore and early in his career as a corner, he was burned on a regular basis by opposing receivers.
