2016 NFL Draft: Mississippi State DT Chris Jones Has Pro Bowl Potential

The 2016 NFL draft class looks to be a meat and potatoes-type draft, loaded with talent at the essential positions needed to build a Super Bowl contender. While it’s not as deep with top-tier playmakers like some previous years, there’s an abundance of trench talent to be unearthed. One of the potential future Pro Bowlers on the defensive front is Mississippi State tackle Chris Jones.

The versatile defensive lineman isn’t one of the big names in the 2016 class at this time. According to CBS Sports, Jones is the 74th-ranked prospect. That would put the 6’6”, 310-pounder in the third round if the draft followed its board.
