GN draft decisions: Mississippi State DT Chris Jones

Defensive lineman Chris Jones was a five-star recruit when he signed with Mississippi State in 2013 and he now is seen as a fringe first-rounder in the 2016 NFL draft.

Jones didn’t quite live up to the five-star hype, but there were times when he was dominant and that has piqued some teams’ interest.

Gridironnow’s Amanda Borges looks at the pros and cons of Jones as an NFL prospect.

Jones (6 feet 6, 310 pounds) was a high school defensive end who grew into a college defensive tackle, and some believe he would fit as an end in a 3-4.
