The Packers typically run a base two-high safety system that leverages versatility and disguises coverages, transitioning to single-high or split-safety looks post-snap.
Year 1: immediate contributor as a strong safety with box capabilities and special teams impact; Ceiling: a versatile, physical starting strong safety capable of covering tight ends and supporting the run.
A system that exclusively mandates a deep centerfield safety, as his coverage range excels closer to the line of scrimmage.
Jones' size, speed, and physicality make him an ideal fit for a two-high system that values versatile safeties who can play closer to the box, cover tight ends, and contribute significantly on special teams.
Selected #61 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Green Bay Packers out of NC State.
