Chiefs claim DB Brandon Jones off waivers

[Dante84]

Brandon Jones

Bio: Two-year starter who finished with 41 tackles/5 interceptions/9 pass breakups as a senior after 35/2/4 the prior year.

Positive: Big cornerback best in zone coverage. Works to keep the action in front of him, effectively tracks the pass in the air, and shows a nice move to the throw. Solid run defender who wraps up when tackling. Works well with safeties.

Negative: Loses speed transitioning off the line to run downfield with opponents. Struggles in man coverage. Bites on ball fakes and double moves.

Analysis: Jones is a big defensive back who struggles making plays with his back to the ball. He projects as a ninth defensive back at the next level if he proves his worth on special teams.
