I've been a bit rough on Chris Jones this season. However, after looking at the big picture, I think the Chiefs should give him a real opportunity to improve over the next two or three years. I think if Spags could have him for a couple years, Chris might become a real Pro-Bowl all-around DT.
The reason I think that has to do with how he handled his hold-out situation. He could've held out, but he reported to camp like a team player. That shows some part of him wants to be on the team and that he respects his teammates. We want guys like that on the team.
Further, he's the best DT we have from a physicality and athletic standpoint. He just needs to be molded into something better against the run.
And he's young; this is just his third year in the league. He still has a lot to learn and he hasn't reached his prime years yet. Even if he's a slow learner, he's going to be a lot better in just two years.
