It’s early, but Jonathan Jones is starting to make Patriots fans feel much better about the offseason departure of J.C. Jackson.
Jones was fantastic in last Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, allowing only two receptions while forcing one fumble and coming up with one interception. The 29-year-old earned Pro Football Focus‘ highest coverage mark for qualifying cornerbacks in Week 3 with a 93.5 grade.
In fact, Jones now is PFF’s top-ranked corner overall, carrying both the highest defensive rating and highest coverage grade. Tampa Buccaneers corner Jamel Dean and Los Angeles Rams star Jalen Ramsey rank second and third, respectively.
