Chavez Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Jones looks a lot like Javon Walker to me. Strong and fluid looking. After tonight, I'm convinced he's going to be the #2....and with Driver out for a while by the looks of it - a pretty solid WR3 on anyones team. Jones isn't the athlete Walker is, and doesn't have the upside, IMO. But he has the ability and ethic to be a solid, solid possession-type guy from the way it looks. But the top 2 WRs in GB still are going to be Driver and Jennings - McCarthy has pretty much said that Jennings' job is not the least bit in jeopardy.

I agree on Jennings and Driver, but I'm not prepared to limit Jones' ceiling quite yet. Walker is certainly a freakish athlete, and Jones isn't quite on his level (speed being the main difference). I think comparing Jones to Sterling Sharpe is pretty fair, though, so I'd say the upside is definitely there...albeit a couple of years off.

Chavez Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Sterling Sharpe was a Hall of Fame level NFL WR. That's a pretty high ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
