College Football Focus (PFF)
Quarterbacks throwing into his coverage this season had an NFL passer rating of just 26.3, the best mark in the FBS for all corners.
With a Combine performance that practically saw him jump out of Indianapolis, Bryon Jones got a lot of people interested in his athleticism and measurables. When you put on the tape you tend to be similarly impressed.
Jones played very well this season before injury forced him out after just seven games of action. During those seven games, though, he displayed an excellent ability to play in press coverage but also play the ball in the air and break up passes with his length and leaping ability.
He didn't give up a touchdown and only allowed 12 catches for 123 yards. Jones looked a little less comfortable if he wasn't able to get a hand on receivers, struggling a little for short area quickness, but his ceiling is high and his upside will be very attractive to teams late in the first round.
