Andrew Jones

Average-sized traditional off-line linebacker who will need to add bulk in college. Compensates with encouraging functional athleticism on the field and possibility of playing multiple LB roles, depending on scheme. Huge production as a junior. Closes fast in pursuit and with a purpose. Shows impressive close-quarters explosiveness. Can uncoil without gathering. Pad-popper. Pursues well to perimeter and redirects well in run game. Majority of tape is playing forward or to the sidelines and not dropping into coverage. Will need to hone coverage technique. May need scheme fit to maximize play style. Needs to get stronger to help navigate run-game traffic. Lack of athletic context (testing, track). Power Five-caliber linebacker who plays athletic and could fit multiple off-line roles.
