Spread RPO, with vertical shot plays, 5-step drops and some play-action passing.
Year 1 backup with a clear path to starting within a season or two; long-term starter with development.
Run-heavy option offense that asks the quarterback to be a primary runner.
Jones's mobility adds an important dimension that allows him to execute RPOs and escape pressure, despite his primary role as a pocket passer.
Selected #6 overall in Round 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft by New York Giants out of Duke.
