"The fluidity of a 5'10" corner in a 6'4" frame is Kelley Jones' calling card. His agility to flip his hips and run, combined with a dominant wingspan, allows him to suffocate routes at the line of scrimmage. If he adds mass and polishes his aggression, he projects as a quality starting outside cornerback."
At 6-foot-4 with recovery speed, Jones does not cover receivers so much as remove them — the boundary third simply stops existing on his side.
What he does well
- 01Press length — At 6'4" he touches the receiver's frame before the release is finished, wrecking the timing of slants, quick outs and back-shoulder throws.
- 02Recovery speed — He opens cleanly and makes up ground on double moves with stride length, so a lost first step rarely turns into a completed deep ball.
