USC RB Ronald Jones II declares for 2018 NFL Draft

Ronald Jones II’s time with USC Football is at an end.

The junior running back announced he will enter his name into the 2018 NFL Draft on Friday =.

Thanks to his explosiveness, quickness and physicality as a runner, USA Today’s Draft Wire called Jones II a “three-down player who could easily sneak into the first-round conversation” when draft time comes along.

However, with plenty of competition at the position, CBS Sports lists Jones II as the No. 4 running back prospect this year, ranking 28th overall.

Jones II may not be the top running back in the draft, but his decision to leave USC to take his chances in the pros is no surprise.
