Game Film Evaluated:

East Carolina (2014)

South Florida (2014)

Pros: Plays press man coverage. Comfortable jamming receivers at the line. Extremely fluid hips, able to stay low. Good hands to go up for ball at highest point. Real good at redirecting receivers without holding.

Cons: Needs to keep his hands off the receiver downfield. Needs to be more consistent locating the ball once in the air and making a play on it. Gives up the inside way too easily without resistance. Needs to focus more on wrapping up receiver than going for fumble, missed a few tackles due to this.

Summary: Byron Jones is the ideal corner physically and a good character kid as well.  He has the frame, combine numbers and solid film to suggest a top prospect. He is comfortable getting physical with receivers at the line and has the fluid hips to handle man coverage with quick receivers as well. He needs to continue to improve on making a play on the ball but confident he will get a bit of picks in his career. He needs to work on tackling, just get the guy done is priority one. Jones looks like a first round pick and exactly the type of corner the league is targeting with the success of the Seattle secondary in recent years. He is best suited for a press man scheme and let him do his thing on an island.
