While rookie OT Broderick Jones’ future as a starter is a given, sooner or later, the timeline has increasingly shifted toward later since training camp opened. The imposing Georgia product did not blow the doors off the competition, but rather started off slow and has gradually built himself up since then.
While he contributed to allowing a sack in Saturday night’s game, it was a step forward for the 14th-overall draft pick, now having logged nearly 100 preseason snaps over the past two weeks.
“I do feel a little bit better. There’s always things to work on, that you can improve on, so it’s just time to get back in the lab and continue to correct little mistakes”, he told reporters after the game, via the team’s website, following his second outing.
