The number of reps he seems to be getting with the ones and twos combined with the apparently solid coverage and PBUs seems to be slotting him into a depth position on the 53.

Deantre "Tre" Prince is  6'0" - 185 - with a wingspan of 6 feet, 3 inches and he ran a 4.38 forty.
If this rookie continues to develop on this pace, the Jags may have found a steal at pick #153

He made a ridiculous one handed INT the other day. Easily the best INT of camp and possibly the best play of camp so far.

I think it's definitely between Jones and Him for CB 3 and 4. I've read that the team is very impressed by Jones ability to play inside and outside. It also seems like he has had at least 1 INT every day.

After that it will get very interesting. There is a bunch of guys that will be battling for the remaining 1, or 2 CB spots. Depending on if they decide to keep 5 or 6.

Yes - I definitely have Jones ahead of Prince on my depth chart whether inside or out, but I keep following my gut instinct that says Jones will be the primary nickel with another safety-type player coming in for big nickel packages at times. 
(presumably Savage) 
I suppose how well Campbell takes to playing more man coverage could be a deciding factor on Jones' position, but I doubt they'd have re-upped Tyson if there wasn't a high confidence level in the building that he's acclimating to the new scheme well. 

The whole thing is very interesting to watch as we move into preseason games now that we have new coaches with great resumés installing a new aggressive scheme. Excited to see how it pans out.
