Jones is an attacking defender with the ability to be a three down LB. At 6’1” 220 lbs. he’s got a strong well-built frame with plus athleticism. He’s an aggressive run filler while also showing he can drop back and make plays in coverage. Great instincts to read and react, he’s quick to recognize run/pass and trigger to the ball. He flies up to attack ball carriers while limiting wasted movement to the ball. Can beat blockers in a variety of ways but always uses his hands well to keep blockers off of him and away from his body. Has the lateral agility and speed to play sideline to sideline. Brings heavy contact as a tackler and finishes opponents to the ground. Racked up over 150 tackles and nine TFL with two picks during the 2023 season.
