Ernest Jones Interview (try to wrap head around he's only 22 years old)

[Allen2McVay]

Are you sure he's 260 pounds? He looks awfully lean to be 260.

Jones is not 260.

You're right, 6'2 230 as of a year ago. Rams site says 230 as well, so I think I had him mixed up w/ someone else.
But he's not necessarily small / light:
Reeder ILB 6'3 245
Howard ILB 6'1 219
Rozeboom LB 6'2 230
Hollins LB 6'5 248 (I think he mainly plays OLB?)
Floyd OLB 6'5 240
His S.Carolina tape was really good, short as it was. Shed blocks, INT's, TFL's, etc.

 

[“Turbo set!”]

Talented but can he stay on the field?

Rookies always seem to get hurt. They seem to need a year within a professional strength and conditioning organization to make the jump to the pros. A high ankle sprain doesn't have to be chronic if he's on it in the off-season (IMO).

Didn't get much play this year, but I'm hoping 21 year old Bobby Brown will step up in a rotational role for 2022 with the likely departure of SJD.

Yeah, his development is key. If he comes through big, it takes a little pressure off not having those #1's
