UConn CB Byron Jones (16) just misses blocking a Boise State field goal kicked by Dan Goodale (41) in the third quarter at Rentschler Field on September 13, 2014.
The NFL Combine gets underway on Tuesday and as we know, two members of the UConn Football team are in attendance, WR Geremy Davis and CB Byron Jones.
It’s also the time where the various pundits put out their top ten players at each position or mock drafts.
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Mel Kiper put out his top ten list at all positions (ESPN Insider) and when you look at the top ten cornerbacks, you’ll see a familiar name from the UConn Huskies in Jones who comes in at No. 10.
Right now, Jones projects out to be drafted in the 7th round. This is most likely due to the fact that he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury which he had repaired immediately afterwards.
His physical will NFL scouts if he’s healed from that injury. If he is, Jones will have the chance to prove himself and hopefully improve his draft stock.
