Among players with better than 600 snaps, Jones was the 11th-highest graded cornerback in 2019 on Pro Football Focus. His tackling grade ranked first and his coverage grade finished 12th-best.

In 2018, Jones was PFF's fifth-highest graded corner (with more than 600 snaps).

At 6-1, 200 pounds, Jones blew up the 2015 Scouting Combine. He paced the defensive backs in the vertical (44.5 inches) and broad jumps (147 inches), 3-cone (6.78 seconds), 20-yard shuttle (3.94 seconds), and 60-yard shuttle (10.98 seconds). Jones' rare length and athletic combination makes it a difficult task for receivers to earn clean releases when he lines up in press-man.

Jones' relative athletic score card is nearly perfect – 9.96 out of 10. That 9.96 score is the highest ever for a cornerback from Kent Platt’s combine athletic grading scale.

The 147-inch broad jump by Jones at the combine set a world record that still stands today.

Jones can press and disrupt at the line, or bail in a variety of zone coverages, leaning on his football I.Q. and instincts to anticipate route concepts.

According to ESPN's Next Gen Stats, opposing quarterbacks completed just 50% of their passes when Jones was the nearest defender in coverage last season, which was the seventh-best mark in the league for corners with at least 250 coverage snaps. Opposing quarterbacks mostly left Jones alone, as he was targeted a mere 13.0% percent of pass attempts last season.
