On YouTube I looked at his Highlights. FAST, very FAST. He hits the hole fast and he is off to the races. He has good size also, but he is FAST. I like how FAST he hits the hole, he doesn't take all day getting to the line. His Highlight footage is a lot of Long Gains.
After Mixon, I felt there was need for another RB in Depth. Now I didn't see in highlights Jones catching the ball or blocking. I'm sure he will need to be Coached Up. However the raw Speed is there and he is Big and Fast. He somewhat reminds me of how OJ Simpson would hit the line fast and break into the open field gaps fast for long gains. Or Paul Robinson of Bengals fame. Hit the hole fast or get outside on the sweep fast and get up field fast. BIG GAIN ABILITY. His highlights show a lot of 50 yard runs or more. The type of RB coaches uses as their Lightning Fast Big Play Runner.
So not as Big as Mixon, but I can see him as a good back-up to Mixon if they can get him Coached Up on catching and blocking. The Raw Speed is there, and he has good size. Nothing against the Bengals back-up RB's, but Bengals needed to bring in some fresh legs. I love Shermari Jones YouTube highlight footage. It would be great to see him adding this kind of speed to the Bengals Running Game. The more we can Run, the less defenses can power rush Burrow.
I wonder if he can catch punts or kick offs with this speed he has. If he can help on special teams, it's a good way to make the team also. The Fast Running Back Speed is there, and you can't coach Speed. He has plenty of Speed as a Running back. We could use more yards out of Mixon's back ups. We can't have this nonsense that if Mixon gets dinged up, Burrow gets clobbered because Defenses don't respect Bengals back-up RB's ability.

So what would you say is his greatest attribute, Kevin? 5,000 words or less.
