Byron Jones Videos

I really don't think this guy will ever be a starting CB in the NFL. He doesn't move like a CB. Maybe safety, but I doubt that too to be honest. Cowboys became enamored with his workout #'s and personality. He's stiffer than Carr.

I doubt your assessment too to be honest.

Well, I can honestly say I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

I've only watched a few minutes and I like this. It took me much longer to find problems than Claiborne; the first two steps I watched of Claiborne were bad to me, and that was one of his highlights on draft day. Jones's feet aren't sluggish and he can move with crossers = he's going to play at least 600 snaps.

I don't know about his vision, though. I've noticed him moving his head to the backfield like he doesn't see/trust his peripherals; that reaction time to get eyes back to the WR after the snap matters. It's more of a body language thing rather than evidence. Can't see what things look like downfield on broadcasts so can't confirm either.
I don't like his tackling as a safety, it's more acceptable as a corner. He'd hardly get stops short of the first as a safety trying like that.

Why? I'm not seeing much in those "highlight" videos. Is he a safety or CB?

I agree
