Jones Jr. (6’5/315) is a true homegrown product who hails from Baton Rouge, LA and was seemingly born to play for the Tigers. Despite being recruited as a guard, he started 12 games in 2022 receiving Freshman All-American recognition before going on to have two more Second Team All-SEC caliber campaigns as LSU’s locked-in starting RT. He had first round buzz entering the 2024 season, but after Jones Jr. allowed 28 pressures, a 2.3% pressure rate and a 61st percentile PFF overall grade, he has since come down from those initial lofty projections. He is blessed with expanded 34.25” arms and frying pan sized 10.75” hands which allow him to stab and neutralize opponents. Jones Jr’s problem stem from his feet being a little slow to chase speedy edge rushers around the loop. If he kicks inside at the NFL level, Jones Jr. could certainly carve a niche out for himself.
