It’s rare to see a corner coming into the draft with the size of wide receivers. When you find one, it’s easy to fall in love with them as a prospect. The go-to comparison is one of the best big corners in NFL history, Richard Sherman — and here we go again with Myles Jones out of Texas A&M.

Myles Jones has a trait no team can teach with his eyebrow-raising height at 6-4. The Aggies play him in zone coverage, specifically Cover 3. NFL fanatics know that’s the style of defense that made Seattle Seahawks’ Legion of Boom. The aforementioned Sherman alongside Brandon Browner (6-4) dominated the outside with physicality.

Teams will look for Jones to play physically at the line but drop into zone coverage. Jones is raw as a prospect but with great length to make him a disruptive force when defending the pass.

He’s thin (185 pounds) and, despite not appearing overly athletic, he does move with fluidity. Jones also appears to have good ball skills and already had two interceptions on the season. When he runs, he looks like a gazelle but he covers ground in a hurry.

He is scheme-specific and will excel best on teams playing press zone. The rarity in his size and length will see him get drafted somewhere in third or fourth round. With the talent in SEC he’ll see plenty of opportunity to improve his stock. How high he goes depends on him.
