GAME FILM
#6 bRANDON JONES VS Oklahoma st (2019)

Strengths: A very versatile defensive back who can play all over the defensive secondary. Can play the slot receiver, hi-low safety, come down in the box, and the nickel—an excellent and aggressive player who likes to come down and stop the run with his solid frame. He is capable of conquering blocks with good strength and tackle ball carriers to the ground. As a blitzing safety, he had much success in stopping the run or disrupting the passer. The outstanding speed with a track background who finishes promptly. Has a high football IQ, a very cerebral player who processes receivers combinations of routes. Excellent skills to play press coverage in man coverage and trail the receiver. Good vision, who can read the pocket, and if the receiver beats him off the line, has hard recovery skills to fight at the ball at the catching point. Great candidate for special-team player at the next level.

Weaknesses: Will become too aggressive missing tackles with poor balance with his tackling methods. Consistently tackling below the knees, or trying to deliver the knockout blow resulting in missing many tackles. In zone coverages, he tends to give up too much cushion and seems to look uncomfortable at times. Can be inconsistent on jump balls, struggled with bigger receivers. Single high safety coverage showed some delays in responding to the plays.

Draft Grade: 5.93

Draft Projection: 5th-7th
