http://sidelinescouting.com/rankings/rb/taiwan-jones.shtmlPositives: Blazing fast, seems to never get run down from behind, in high school he would battle Detroit Lions running back Jahvid Best in track meets... Explosive, has a second gear and is a fluid runner... Elusive in the open field, a great stop-start runner with instant acceleration... Does a good job waiting for blockers to set up in front of him... Great receiver out of the backfield, has nice soft hands... Solid route runner, can line up at wide receiver... Ended his career on a strong note after reeling off seven consecutive 100 yard games to close the season... Can return kicks in the NFL... Former cornerback who is still learning the position, should continue to improve.
Negatives: Has a frail build, legs are thin and he doesn't appear to have much strength in his lower body... Leaves the ball exposed when he's running... Runs upright, looks like he's running the 100 meter dash more so than running with the football, doesn't lower his pad level... Marginal leg drive, keeps his legs moving but doesn't have the power to go anywhere with it... Poor blocker... Tons of injury concerns, always seems to be nicked up... Played against FCS competition at Eastern Washington... Runs east/west too much and wants to break the big play every time he touches the football... Did not work out at the combine due to a foot injury.
