I'm going to hope as much as I possibly can for Jarvis Jones, I believe he could be that kind of difference maker.
I keep hearing fans say this but if anyone would actually take the time to really evaluate everything that is known about Jarvis Jones then one could see that he is huge bust waiting to happen.
Jones is small, slow & has a poor work ethic. That won't cut on the next level even though he produced at the college level. He seems like one of those players who was able to play at a high level in college because of physical gifts but physical gifts alone won't get him by in the NFL.
Without putting the extra effort forth in the weight room, film room & on the practice field, he won't succeed. Not only that, having a poor work ethic is a factor that Payton & the organization frowns upon. Jones doesn't appear to be the type of player the organization covets & any fan who wants an impact defensive player, shouldn't either.

a decent perspective but I'd contrast-
"Jones is small, slow" doesn't compute with "able to play at a high level in college because of physical gifts "
The game tape shows a high impact playmaker. Whether it was overwhelming skills or overwhelming effort being small and slow I dunno. He was a beast.
The intangibles we really don't know. from our viewpoint "Jones doesn't appear to be the type of player the organization covets..." may be true. It may just be the public perception as well. Randy Moss always had public perception issues (which dropped his draft stock from #1-ish into the teens) but his teammates and coaches (including Belichick) only gave him top grades as a teammate and his contribution to the locker room. If talking LBs ya gotta go the original LT. Dude had super major issues. But he was one of the most dominant defenders in NFL history. I have complete trust in the FO to sort out if he fits here beyond the game skills. Shockey fell into line here. Hargorve was on his last strike when he came here. Carl Nicks was a 5th Rder instead of a 2nd over the off field concerns. They've proven well in sifting through these kind of players under Payton.
