Playing in the BIG 10, we know that he likely saw high quality coverage defenders on a weekly basis.  However, when you look at Lance Zierline's breakdown of his strengths and weaknesses, he paints it like Jones is predictable into his cuts and can't get past anyone.  What gives?

Quote:Weaknesses

• Lacking suddenness to shake press.
• Has trouble blowing by tight man coverage downfield.
• Adjusts stride level, alerting coverage of impending break.
• Has trouble uncovering consistently on all levels.
• High percentage of tries are contested.
• Catch radius is very modest.
