HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders, seemingly since their inception, have been blessed with playmaking, ball-hawking, Pro Bowl-if-not-All Pro-level cornerbacks.
From Willie Brown and Kent McCloughan to Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes. From Terry McDaniel to Charles Woodson and Nnamdi Asomugha to... Jack Jones?
Let's pump the brakes a tad on anointing Jones to Raiders royalty. After all, he joined the roster midseason last year after a rocky start to his NFL career with the New England Patriots. But when it comes to personality and potential playmaking ability, Jones has entered the chat as one of the most important players on the Raiders current defense.
