What They’re Saying: Jonathan Jones: After “Strong Camp”, CB Poised to Earn a Role in Patriots Defense

Patriots training camp has seen Jonathan Jones as one of the most consistent performers in their defense, with Jones playing like a player who knows this is his chance to earn a bigger role in the team’s secondary.

He had plenty of terrific moments, and here’s a rundown of what’s been written about him:

“Jonathan Jones stood out among his peers on Thursday. The slot cornerback intercepted Brady in 2-on-2s. In 11-on-11s, he deflected a Brady pass. Both plays happened with him covering Braxton Berrios. Also deflecting passes were Jackson, Crossen and D’Angelo Ross.” – Mark Daniels, Providence Journal – 7/25/19

“Jones, who’s competing for a starting job in the Patriots’ base nickel defense, was a standout in practice.
