It has been just about a month since Ronald Jones II was drafted in the second round of this year’s draft, and he is already impressing. Early this off-season, Jones has been putting in all he has into practice and the coaches are starting to notice.
Running backs coach Tim Spencer explains that, “Watching the film he has done a good job. He’s not afraid and that’s the thing, he’s not afraid and you can see he has the want-to in him. So all I need to do is teach him technique in terms of hand placement, feet and, you know, where his aim points and things like that. But, he has it in his heart. So that’s good. That’s half of it right there.”
At the moment Peyton Barber has the top spot on the depth chart, but if Jones keeps on impressing, you could see him take that top spot sooner, rather than later. If nothing else, Jones has breathed much-needed new life into Tampa Bay’s backfield.
