Similar situation to Terrace Marshall Jr, actually. At the 2021 draft, people were talking slot slot slot... and I was thinking, "TMJ guy has it all. No need to pigeonhole him like that. He's not Ja'Marr but he can play outside himself. He has." Fast forward two years and he's now competing foir the starting X in Carolina. I see that kind of versatility in Jones' future as well.
But for sure- we drafted him with an eye on Boyd next year. That goes without saying.
I do not mean to say he is just a slot guy, he can play outside but Irwin is a good backup outside guy but not built for the slot. So we needed that slot back up. I would enjoy seeing him get snaps outside as well he has great hands and good speed. They did not name the guy Chuck Sizzle for no reason lol.
