Besides game film, what other factors suggest Jones should be a high draft pick? His size? No. His speed? No? His work ethic? No? Great physical tools that project well on the next level? No. All people are leaning on are is his game film & that can be a huge mistake when projecting how a player will perform on the next level.


How about some facts?

2011:
He posted 70 total tackles including 19.5 for a loss, 13.5 sacks (which led the SEC), 2 forced fumbles and 26 quarterback hurries.

2012:
He recorded 85 tackles, 24 tackles-for-loss, 14.5 sacks, 1 interception, 7 forced fumbles, and 2 fumbles recovered.

BTW...that's playing in the SEC.

I guess on the field play doesn't count for anything as well.

That's what convinces me, Adono.

It wasn't like CB Dave Amerson who had 13 INT's in 2011, then got beat almost every game in 2012. Which year was the aberration?

Jarvis dominated two years in a row, both years with impressive stats, at the highest level of CFB in the SEC, where coaches had a years worth of film & time to gameplan against him in 2012, and yet he still dominated, & one could argue the numbers were better than he produced in 2011.

How's that for a run-on sentence?
