An interesting point is that Jones has possession of the ball.
Can a player with possession of the ball get called for roughing the passer?
Let’s say it’s a tipped ball, he catches it with two hands and lands full body weight on the QB while catching it. Is that RTP?

Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up the passer with the defensive player’s arms and not land on the passer with all or most of his body weight.

How can you be expected to do that while possessing the ball.
