When NFL teams trimmed their rosters to 53 back in early September, one of the players who failed to make the Patriots final cut was Cyrus Jones, a Baltimore native, Gilman grad and product of the University of Alabama.
Jones was drafted by the Patriots with the 60th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. Mike Mayock once described Jones as “a starting nickel corner with added value in the return game. Atypical of corners, he has great ball skills. He is a well-coached, technique-sound player.”
This September the Ravens claimed Jones off waivers and signed him to their practice squad.
