The Chiefs operate a disguised, two-high safety defensive system with Cover-4, Cover-6, and Cover-2 principles allowing for both zone and man coverage.
Jones likely projects as an immediate special teams contributor in Year 1 while he develops his coverage technique and play strength, with a ceiling as an outside depth corner capable of spot starting.
A man-heavy scheme that asks cornerbacks to consistently mirror receivers on an island, especially against bigger, stronger wideouts.
A willing and aggressive run defender with good tackling form, Jones fits well into a zone-heavy scheme that values strong support against the run and hitches.
