Strengths

  • Year-by-year improvement
  • Got better throughout this season
  • Gets off ball very quickly
  • Slips away from blocks, finds ball carrier, tackles inside run (good IQ)

Weaknesses

  • Not very athletic or explosive
  • Unproven pass rush
  • Lack of a great pass rush / block shed move

Jones Jr has improved every year I’ve watched him. Now at East Kentwood, he just had a much-improved season, and he looked better as the season went on. Coached very well. Knows how to fill a gap, slip away from a block, and make a tackle. VERY fast reaction time getting off the ball, but not explosive. Great reaction time still allows him a free ride into the backfield a lot.
