The ideal system for Matt Jones is a downhill, run-heavy scheme that prioritizes inside zone and gap scheme runs.
Jones's ideal Year 1 role would be a complementary short-yardage and goal-line back, with a ceiling as a primary back in a run-heavy attack.
A pass-heavy, spread offense that prioritizes outside zone and receiving out of the backfield would diminish his value significantly.
His size and running style are best suited for a physical, downhill rushing attack where he can gain momentum and wear down defenses.
Selected #95 overall in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Washington Redskins out of Florida.
