Christian Jones

Multi-dimensional high school playmaker with heavy two-way snaps and special teams participation. Big outside receiver who also plays from the edge and off-ball linebacker, which is the highest long-term projection. Negative wing relative to height but a good build with some space to add more mass as desired. Strong combine testing data in the lateral suddenness category. Motor runs hot and reveals itself in pursuit. Displays good linear closing speed but can also redirect to rally. Could provide core special teams value early in college career. Displays functional strength as a defender with ability to play through contact with obvious core strength and body control. Excellent multi-sport context that speaks to overall athleticism. Owns the uncommon combination of sub-11.00 100-meter speed and 50 feet-plus shot put prowess to suggest excellent speed-and-power abilities. Highest gear reached on the track can more consistently manifest in pads. Projects as a high-major linebacker who could become a college impact player with NFL Draft upside, especially given the multi-positional and multi-sport profile so often seen across the position spectrum in the draft.
