Byron Jones’ Rookie Transition Includes Some Safety Reps, Too

[Doomsday101]

IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys coaching staff has given first-round pick Byron Jones plenty to digest during the organized team activities. He’s worked at both right and left cornerback, moved inside to the slot in sub-packages, and most recently – as team officials acknowledged on draft night as a possibility – he’s gotten reps at safety in the third and final week of OTAs, too.
Keep in mind it’s early June, and these voluntary workouts give coaches a chance to tinker with rotations and work players at different spots. For instance, Brandon Carr, a three-year starter at left cornerback, has flipped with Orlando Scandrick and gotten some reps on the right side.

It doesn't matter where we put Jones he just needs to be on the field. It's going to be fun watching him get better and better as the season progresses.

And he will. He appears to be a guy like Lee: He will study and has a desire to be the best. I have a lot of trust in this guy, no matter where they put him.
It may not be this year, but he will show many here that he has what it takes to be a very, very good player in this league.

It will and it will be for a long time. Love LOVE this pick.

I remember some saying that we reached for him, and that he's just a workout warrior, doesn't have a feel for the game, or whatever. So far, I'm not seeing any of that. Obviously it's still early -- but with some guys, you can just tell right away.
