I haven't read Drew Boylhart in a while. I wondered where he was, but his stuff is always entertaining and tends to be accurate. He was always
considered sort of a mad contrarian/outlier in the draft world, but people talked about him and his analogies tended to stick
in memory. A hyena chasing a lion is sort of a tortured comp, but I'll take it as a compliment to the kid.
Anyhow, this is from the Athlon draft guide:
Jones is a true four-down contributor with his ability to cover the slot and his impact as arguably the most dangerous return specialist to enter the league since
Devin Hester. Jones is a twitchy athlete who changes direction with ease. He will line up in press and play a lot of trail technique with the reactionary athleticism to stick to receivers. He's competitive and physical battling for the ball. He's also very willing in run support and his speed has him chasing plays down all over the field. He's simply exceptional in the return game,
showing off 0 to 60 acceleration to a top speed that obliterates angles.
4 downs and 3 phases. Yes, I think he'll be worth a 3rd round pick, I'm planning on having some patience, because he'll have a ton on his plate, but I'm really
happy to get him here and watch him evolve into a star and huge fan favorite.
I don't know much about the Serengeti, but I see the look in his eye when he's on the field and it looks to me like he wants to be special.
