Gridironnow’s Amanda Borges discusses the pros and cons of Jones as an NFL linebacker prospect.
Jones (6 feet 1, 222 pounds) led LSU and was 12th in the SEC with 100 tackles. He also had five sacks, 13.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups and six quarterback hurries. He showed off his speed, quickness and coverage ability as a senior he also showed he can flow from sideline to sideline with no issues.
His 100 tackles as a senior were 35 more than he had had combined in his first three seasons, and his relative lack of experience is a negative.
