Can he return kicks and punts?

On offense, I wonder if he can pass block enough. What kind of vision does he have?

He returned kickoffs his freshman and sophomore years including one for a 93 yard touchdown as a freshman.
 
Video: Taiwan Jones works on his 40-yard dash

Here's a video of Taiwan Jones training to run the 40-yard dash. Actually it's just him working on the first 10-yards which his trainers claims he runs in the 1.4s.

Rob Rang also posted the video on his blog with a little more in depth write up.

The key to running a fast time in the 40-yard dash, trainers say, is to start fast.

If that theory proves true, Eastern Washington running back Taiwan Jones may prove to be the fastest player in the 2011 draft.

Doug Farrar of Yahoo.com recorded a video of Jones practicing the 40-yard dash at the esteemed Athletes Performance. In the video, Jones' coach, Performance Manager Brent Callaway, claims that Jones' 10-yard splits are in the "1.4s." If so, the 6-0, 194 pound running back will have finished the most important quarter of the 40-yard dash faster than anyone tested at the Scouting Combine.

The video shows Callaway coaching Jones on the first 15 yards of the dash. It is Callaway's comments about Jones' starts a little later in the video, however, that will create the biggest stir in the scouting community. At one point he tells Jones he had him at "1.45."

Followng the workout, Farrar asks Callaway the question we'd all like to know -- What's [Jones] been running here?

"Running fast. Running fast," Callaway replies. "We haven't caught him on a full 40 yet, but his first 10 he's been running low 1.4s and that sets him up to run really fast whenever he goes out."
