How are guys putting Mills over Chad Jones. For some reason, this board doesn’t give Jones his due. I can think of at least 5 game changing big plays Jones made during his career off the top of my head.

For shits and giggles, here are their junior year stats. Can’t really look at Jalen’s senior year since he got hurt..

Chad Jones 2009
74 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 9 PD, 6 PBU, 3 INT, 1 FF, 1 blocked kick, 6 punt returns for 129 yards and 1 TD

Jalen Mills 2014
62 tackles, 3 TFL, 6 PD, 5 PBU, 1 INT, 1 FR

Also keeping in mind that Mills was back there with Jamal Adams, while Jones was playing next to Brandon Taylor.

Mills probably had the more productive career at LSU, but Chad Jones had a better season.

Mills cost us games. He was out of position or overran plays in big moments. I like Mills, but he wasn’t on Jones level.
