While Waddle, Harris, and Smith were not there to catch the football, Jones shined with his " B team " of receivers and TE's in other ways using his pro day to silence the doubters. He rolled out, threw well on the move and even showed some agility to dodge stand in pass rushers. He's playing speed chess, while the others are playing checkers, even at his age. Jones used his pro day to highlight what some suspect is the weakest part of his game, which is very different than other pro days featuring what a player does best. I do think his deep ball has good range, but the velocity on the longer throws seems to be lacking some MPH. Not a lot but some. On the other had, he's so accurate that his receivers have a better chance to get RAC yardage.
Oh by the way he ran a 4.75 40 or was it a 4.68? Patrick Mahomes? Only ran a 4.80. Mac Jones has sneaky speed. I think Ben ran a 4.75
" Rather than walking through a cookie-cutter workout designed to accentuate his strengths, the Florida native worked through a throwing program that challenged him from under center and in a shotgun formation. He incorporated a lot of rollouts and other motion into the session perhaps to address concerns over his lack of athleticism. There were a few missed throws down the right boundary that Jones typically completes but it was an adjustment throwing to tight ends Carl Tucker and Miller Forristall as opposed to wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and Devonta Smith. "
" Jones, who is 6-foot-3, 217 pounds, ran the 40-yard dash Tuesday and was clocked at 4.68 seconds. Alabama coach Nick Saban told the NFL Network during the workout that Jones has “good feet.”
“He’s very instinctive,” Saban said. “He’s sneaky fast. I know he’s not a fast, fast guy, but he runs better than you think.”
