Projecting the role of running back Ronald Jones with the Cowboys

With the 38th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected running back Ronald Jones. Jones was coming off of an impressive 2017 with the USC Trojans after racking up 1,550 rushing yards, 19 rushing touchdowns, 5.9 yards per attempt, with no fumbles, and forcing 58 missed tackles. While all of those statistics are great, one of the more impressive things about Jones was the fact that he was one of the highest-graded college running backs of all time with an incredible 92.4 PFF Grade.

Jones struggled early on in his NFL career playing eight games in his rookie season and only getting snaps in five out of eight of them.
