The Indianapolis Colts selected Texas A&M Jaylon Jones with the No. 221 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
The third cornerback drafted by the Colts in this draft, Jones is a young cornerback prospect who just turned 21 years old. He lacks long speed after posting a 4.57 in the 40-yard dash, but he added a 38-inch vertical and 10-foot-2-inch broad jump.
Jones showcased some solid ball skills while working on the outside as a three-year starter for the Aggies, recording 17 passes defended and three interceptions across 32 starts.
Jones is a really physical player, and it will be interesting to see if the Colts don’t try him out at safety as well considering his size and willingness to compete as a run defender.
