NFL. com’s Pat Kirwan wrote, “This may be the year to look at an ‘X’ QB who is 6-6, 242 pounds with a sub-4.4 40 and practically a 40-inch vertical, which [Jones] developed by playing basketball for the Razorbacks, and say he’s the best prospect after the top 16 players.”

NFL. com senior analyst Gil Brandt concurs, writing, “[Jones has] just flat-out incredible numbers… A lot of coaches have all kinds of ideas on where to play Jones, but only one team will have the chance to draft him.”

Sports Illustrated’s Peter King recently mused that Jones could be picked by St. Louis (No. 19) or Pittsburgh (No. 30). From this perspective, No. 19 seems a bit high, but Rams head coach Mike Martz has a penchant for trickeration, which seems to be right up Jones’ alley. Jones is tall, quick and athletic. He can run fast, jump high, play physical and catch the ball in traffic. What NFL team doesn’t need a guy like that?
