The Buffalo Bills typically employ a West Coast timing offense with elements of spread and RPO concepts.
Zay Jones has the potential to develop into a reliable Z or X receiver, contributing early as a rotational pass-catcher and special teams contributor.
He would be a poor fit for a run-heavy, play-action oriented offense that rarely airs the ball out or relies on receivers to win with exceptional explosiveness after the catch.
Jones' strong hands and route-running ability project well to a system that prioritizes precise timing and high-volume target shares for its receivers.
Selected #37 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Buffalo Bills out of East Carolina.
