Ronald Jones Can Catch
April 27th, 2018
Joe fielded some questions on Twitter and he has seen it in the comments on this here website.
Yes, Ronald Jones can catch the ball. USC didn’t throw him the ball, that is the issue.
In a conference call for the Bucs pen and mic club this evening, Jones was asked about catching. He has no doubt; it’s not an issue.
“My hands are real good,” Jones said. “I didn’t get to see that many opportunities [to catch] at USC. I feel it comes natural. Like a second sense.”
Jone was so productive as a runner, breaking off six yards a carry and only three times this past season not running for at least 116 yards in a game, why the hell would a coach even think of throwing him the ball?
Folks who watched #PAC12AfterDark already knew this.

Of course he’ll tell you that. He had bad drops in the few targets he saw, too.

We passed on Dariis Guice for this bum

I’m glad he can catch. Can he play cornerback as well? We need to move up and get the best corner available.

and the pac 12 conference he played against….went 1-8 in bowl games last year, Joe. Its not quite the same avg. per attempt as it would be in say the SEC.

Too small and no burst Barber runs a 4.6 too but hes bigger and more experienced. Bucs also have sims whos faster. not feeling this cat at all. wish him luck tho!!!!

On Guice, there is obviously something that Licht knows that you do not. Stop the whining. Jones is game fast. Dont let the 40 times fool you. You will be cheering his name this year. Impact player.

199 lber doesnt know the first thing about catching
199 catches with his body and NOT HIS HANDS…
THIS IS HIGHSCHOOL LEVEL PASS CATCHING

I trust Licht & Koetter on this pick……something bad must really be going on with Guice….what a shame.

The 4.6 is misleading…he pulled his hammy in the 40 at the combine, I believe.

People need to do some homework. He’s a 4.4 guy, not a 4.65 guy, and ran a 10.3 in HS. He’s as big as Kamara and I think we would all like to have him. Love the pick as a compliment to Barber.
Licht has been on point thus far!

Man I hope the Colts don’t take Isaiah Oliver…..
April 27th, 2018 at 8:24 pm
Again…this guy is more like a 4.4 40…his 4.65 came with a bad hamstring.
He’s known for his speed and his burst. Go back and watch the video. He has something that I love in a RB…he can shift gears…running at one speed…hits a crease and shifts into high and leaves db’s behind him. Watch the highlights again.

I like this kid. Looks like CJ2K. Kid can fly
April 27th, 2018 at 8:26 pm
Kamara is 215 lb and has quick feet, stop and go, lethal shake/wiggle to make defenders(bucs) look silly
April 27th, 2018 at 8:27 pm
You guys that post negative crap are idiots. Did you watch the highlights? Kid has good hands, if not great. He is faster than any back we’ve had in many years and can ball. So STFU

This could be the 2nd best RB in the Draft. PFF has Ronald Jones as their highest graded RB in entire 2017 draft, and to be clear, that includes Barkley.
This could literally be the missing link on offense. If this kid plays in the NFL like his college tape, the Bucs could have a Top-5 offense in 2018.

“My hands are real good,” Jones said. “I didn’t get to see that many opportunities [to catch] at USC. I feel it comes natural. Like a second sense.”
LOL! I hope his first sense is eyesight. Tape the football to his hands since he can’t feel it.
