Alabama’s Christion Jones is an intriguing player to watch, but not for what he might do as a receiver.
If Jones were to make the roster, it would be as a return man, replacing Jarvis Landry (who should remain at wide receiver full-time).
Jones has the speed to do it. At Alabama, he returned 68 kickoffs in his career for 1,727 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 66 punt returns for 719 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged 25.4 yards per kickoff return and 10.9 yards per punt return.
As a wide receiver, don’t expect much out of him. Despite his speed, he’s not strong, and at 5’10”, 182 pounds he’s not big either.
Miami is already testing him out as a return man, per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.
