Where in the world is Matt Jones? The rookie with the freakish talent has opened a universe of possibilities for the Jaguars' offense.(NFL)
The Jaguars may not have a dynamic offense, but they are causing defensive opponents to fret, work overtime in the tape room and sometimes reach a hair-ripping level of frustration--all because of the Slash-like versatility and special skills of rookie Matt Jones.
Is he in the slot? Split wide? Running a reverse? Lining up at quarterback?
"I love to keep people guessing, and a guy like Matt Jones can let you do that," offensive coordinator Carl Smith says, smiling.
The Jaguars drew some criticism last spring for making the former Arkansas quarterback the 21st overall pick, but the negative commentary has died down.
Jones has proved to be such a quick study at wide receiver--and such a fearsome weapon with his freakish combination of size (6-6, 229), speed (4.3) and reliable hands--that he leads all rookies with 27 catches. "The sky's the limit," Smith says.
Where's Matt Jones? Find him in three plays that have defensive coordinators looking for answers.
