We've brought this guy in for a visit, and it's rumoured that we're really interested in him.
I've hardly heard anything of him during the draft process, with most people thinking that he's a late-round guy.
I think he turned some heads at his pro day with:
4.40 40 yard dash
42 inch vertical
10'7 broad jump
4.48 Short shuttle
7.19 3-cone
17 reps on bench

I managed to get hold of the bowl game against Kent State.
The cutting up isn't great as I rushed it a bit but I think all of his tackles are in there.

I think we're looking at him as a nickel corner, like he plays in that game. But he's listed as a safety on most websites.

NFLDS lists him with the strong safeties. They don't even have corner as an alternate position.

Also, last year we signed Kelcie McCray as a UDFA from Ark State, he got hurt at the start of training camp but we carried him on IR the entire season and still have him. Apparently they got a good look at Jones in 2011 too while scouting McCray.
