If it was between Cyrus Jones and Ras Dowling he might have a chance.
But seriously wth do I know? He looks terrible to An average Joe like me. One thing I've learned is to try not to judge a player before all the coaching and experience is applied. Bill usually finds out what their strengths are and maximizes the potential for that player to succeed.
However, this is one instance where I just dont see any improvement to his sophomore year. He looks terrible at kickoffs, terrible on defense to me but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a confidence issue, not sure, maybe he practices really well and needs to work on his jitters and mental mistakes? Belichick knows what he's got and will do what's best for the team.
Weaknesses: Jones definitely is on the small side for an NFL cornerback, which might force teams to slide him inside to the slot, where he doesn’t have much experience. He gave up 39 catches on 68 targets for 497 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions in 2015. He allowed 10 touchdowns in his final two years in college, and that’s on the high side for a top cornerback prospect. He “plays very well between lapses,” however, according to Pro Football Focus.
