One-gap 3-4 penetrating front, emphasizing pass rush and disruption from varied alignments along the defensive line.
Year 1 rotational interior pass rusher with the ceiling to develop into a starting 3-4 defensive end capable of setting the edge and generating consistent pressure.
A traditional two-gap 3-4 defense that requires bulkier, less athletic linemen to anchor and hold ground primarily, as his value is maximized by his penetration.
Jones' blend of length, athleticism, and quickness makes him a strong fit for a one-gap scheme that allows him to attack and disrupt rather than primarily occupy blockers.
Selected #26 overall in Round 1 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Green Bay Packers out of UCLA.
