Who was Byron Jones before he set the broad jump world record at the combine? He absolutely tore up the combine at every drill and yet another player that worries me because of his combine play.

Last season, Jones also missed the final five games of the season after getting shoulder surgery, so there is some sort of injury risk to evaluate. Again, I’m not a big fan of someone who drastically rises up draft boards after a great combine. Jones’ athleticism alone could jolt him into the 1st-round, but at the end of the day you have to go back to the tape to judge a player.
