Scouting report:
- Jones is a dependable chain mover. He has the quickness to gain separation on quick hitters and offers a trusty set of mitts. Jones can chew up opposing secondaries underneath on slants and crossers.
- Jones offers little after the catch. He forced only two missed tackles beyond the line of scrimmage in 2022. He only managed 1.6-2.7 YAC per reception on short- and medium-depth targets.
- Jones bounced around with Buffalo and Iowa before finding a home with Purdue in 2022. He refused to settle and flashed potential with his big final season. That never-quit attitude will serve him well with sticking with an NFL franchise as a depth receiver.
- His extensive résumé as a returner (over 122 combined collegiate returns) will help him stick on a roster as he works his way up a receiver depth chart.

Dynasty Outlook: The former Purdue possession receiver is an older prospect (24.5) who gets to catch passes from Joe Burrow in the NFL. The Bengals selected him in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Tyler Boyd is an unrestricted free agent after this season, so it’s possible Jones could be a starter next season if the team doesn’t bring in more talent in free agency or the draft. Jones is a final-round dice roll/taxi squad candidate.
