Quote:Matt Jones is actually an excellent comparison athletically.

 

Jones killed the combine, but was a long strider.

 

Same thing with Byron Jones - he ran very well and jumped incredibly high/far, but he's a long strider and doesn't possess elite foot quickness.

 

I'm not saying Jones isn't a great athlete, because he is - but watching his cutups he doesn't really appear to have that much quickness and short area speed....

 

Just like Matt Jones destroyed the combine, but when he actually played for US he looked like he was running knee-high in molasses.
