It appears to me that Jones might be the fastest player in each game he played. The majority of his highlights are of him ripping off long runs for scores, plus a few clips of him hawking down ball carriers of from the other team. Jones has great balance as a runner, avoiding defenders who look to lay a big shot on him. Jones absorbs those shocks by spinning off of them to limit their impact or planting his hand on the ground to maintain his balance and keep running. Jones is an inside-out runner who has a clear change of speed as he approaches the third level of the defense. His goal is to get to the sideline when he springs loose. He is a patient runner for the most part, however, if a defense plugs the intended running hole he will improvise to gain yards. With his speed, he is a threat to make something big out of nothing. In terms of evasiveness he has only started to show glimpses of shiftiness, but he will hurdle and side-skate defenders who close in on him low. He also uses the stiff arm to create separation. Viewing a game film to see how Jones handles all his runs between the big gainers is something I would like to see; as well as Jones remembering to switch the ball to his outside hand more consistently when he does spring loose.
