Can we finally agree the Dallas Cowboys made a mistake by selecting defensive back Byron Jones with the 27th pick in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft?
For three years, I’ve never been able to understand how the broad jump demonstrates elite safety skills. The Cowboys will confess that they don’t understand it either as Jones is slated to move to cornerback in 2018.
Since day one, I’ve written articles referring to Byron Jones as the “Nick Hayden” of NFL Safeties. As a cornerback during his rookie year, Jones was roasted like marshmallows at the National Scout Jamboree.
