Ronald Jones is 221 pounds, but will his role in the offense be bigger?

TAMPA — Ronald Jones is bigger. But will he be better?

The Bucs running back had a disappointing rookie season, to put it mildly. The second-round pick from Southern Cal rushed for only 44 yards and one touchdown in 2018.

Jones says he has added muscle and is up to 221 pounds from 208 pounds.

“Last year was a disappointment for me,” Jones told a Pro Football Talk reporter at SportsCon 2019 in Dallas. “I’m putting in the work to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

“I’ve put on a lot of pounds of muscle,’’ Jones added.
