Drafted to take Boyd's spot and thing is he's alot like Boyd. Precise route runner. Sees the open field. Excels on the slot position. Nice pick
I was crazy back when being crazy really meant something.

Can return kicks and punts. Sneaky in the slot. Sounds like a better version of what Alex Erickson did for us. Probably won’t be a star but could handle being our number 3 receiver when Tyler Boyd inevitably leaves.

I think he's a bit faster then Boyd and will have an easier time creating separation.

STRENGTHS: Explosive driving off the line with the “see-ya” speed to stretch the field vertically ... sharp route runner, and stems defensive backs with one-step quickness ... shows a second-gear to climb over coverage when tracking downfield (four catches of 50-plus yards in 2022) ... strong hands and comfortably secures throws away from his body (only three drops on 154 targets in 2022) ... finds voids in the defense and sits down ... innately motivated and bet on himself multiple times until he found the right fit with Purdue ... puts his head down and works, and that preparation shows on game day ... extensive return experience in his career: averaged 8.1 yards per punt return (77/620/1) with a 54-yard return touchdown; averaged 21.3 yards per kick return (47/1,002/1) with a 100-yard return touchdown ... one of only two FBS receivers in 2022 to rank top five in the country in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.

WEAKNESSES: Light, slight frame with questionable play strength ... can get bumped off balance in press and at the top of routes ... eyes and body lean will give indicators to coverage when working on the outside ... needs to better square his numbers to protect the catch point ... inconsistent finishing skills through high- trafficked areas ... shows tightness through hips and won’t consistently shake single tacklers in space ... limited YAC skills because of his inability to break tackles won’t threaten NFL defenses ... medical reports will be important because of past injuries with his hip; underwent shoulder surgery to repair a tear after the 2018 season.

SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Purdue, Jones joined the Boilermakers in June 2022 and immediately became the top target in former head coach Jeff Brohm’s spread scheme, lining up primarily on the outside. After years of attempting to break through on offense, Jones announced himself as a legitimate NFL prospect in his final season, leading the FBS in receptions (110) and setting a Purdue record for single-season receiving yards (1,361). With his one-step acceleration, Jones quickly eats cushion and shows supreme confidence in his focus and hands. Though he flashes a vertical burst, he isn’t a tackle breaker and lacks elusive qualities before and after the catch. Overall, Jones doesn’t have the twitch or play strength to easily uncover outside the numbers, but his crafty speed and ball skills will help find him a role in the NFL. He also has the skills to readily factor in the return game.

I'm sure you've all noticed how Zac is concentrating on players out of big colleges. No division II wonders like we used to take.

So far... 8-)

They would take a guy out of Mount St Joseph University if they thought he was the best athlete in the draft. They have never been picky about that. Last year they took small college players from the 4th round to the end of the draft.

I'm listening to the draft on Sirius XM and they just mentioned how he had a field day against Porter Jr last year.
