Pittsburgh Steelers former first-round draft pick Jarvis Jones is in the midst of a pivotal season that will help determine his future, in part because the team has to decide during this offseason whether or not to pick up his fifth-year option.
While it has been more difficult for him to make a great impact while splitting reps—he has seen the fewest snaps among all the team’s outside linebacker—he has unquestionably shown growth, even if it has not always shown up on the stats sheet. How much growth, and whether or not it’s enough, is a more subjective discussion.
