FRISCO, Texas - In some respects, it could seem like just yesterday that the Cowboys drafted Byron Jones in the 2015 NFL Draft. The first-round pick out of UConn joined a secondary full of veterans like Brandon Carr, Orlando Scandrick, Barry Church, J.J. Wilcox, and experienced players like Morris Claiborne and Jeff Heath.
But all of a sudden Jones is entering his third season and the Cowboys are treating him like anything but a young, new player.
“Like all things in life, when you’re having a good time it goes by fast,” Jones said.
Time may go by fast, but experience always tends to take root, and Jones has plenty of experience in his short amount of time in the league, having started 27 of his 32 career games played.
