Joe Jones isn’t the most hyped Northwestern linebacker in this year’s draft, but he was still a big part of Northwestern’s defensive scheme in 2016. While teammate Anthony Walker Jr. is getting all of that press, Jones touts impressive measurables and plenty of experience with pass coverage in the nickel. He didn’t see the field on defense too much until his senior year, but was a huge part of Northwestern’s pass defense, often lining up in the slot. He racked up 3.5 TFLs and a couple pass defenses last season and hopes that his incredible athleticism will be enough to give him a shot in the NFL.
