Justin Jones is best suited for a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, leveraging his quickness and burst to disrupt the line of scrimmage.
He can immediately contribute as a rotational pass rusher and eventually develop into a starting interior disruptor.
A two-gap 3-4 scheme where he would be asked to consistently hold ground and stack blocks rather than penetrate.
Jones projects as an impactful interior lineman with the right coaching, though his run defense needs refinement.
Selected #84 overall in Round 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Los Angeles Chargers out of NC State.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
