The Eagles consistently run a 4-3 defense with heavy Cover-3 and -4 concepts, prioritizing press man coverage on the outside and zone principles in the middle.
Immediate starter as a boundary corner who can excel in press-man, eventually developing into a shutdown corner capable of shadowing top receivers.
A system that heavily relies on off-zone coverage and frequently asks corners to play soft cushions without much press.
Jones's fluid athleticism and aggressive press technique make him an excellent fit for the Eagles' defensive philosophy, allowing him to thrive on the outside.
Selected #43 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Philadelphia Eagles out of Washington.
