Offensive deal with is a prime NFL draft want for the Pittsburgh Steelers. There’s no denying that. However based on NFL draft analyst Tony Pauline, one offensive deal with the Steelers is not going to be concentrating on is Ohio State’s Dawand Jones.
Pauline appeared on the “Steelers Sanctuary” podcast just lately and talked about how the Steelers didn’t admire the dearth of effort Jones put in on the Ohio State professional day.
Dawand Jones is falling down draft boards. He had one phenomenal day of follow on the Senior Bowl, however then he packed it in. Didn’t follow the subsequent two days. Didn’t play within the recreation. Went to the Mix, ran the 40, did place drills. I used to be on the Ohio State Professional Day with Mike Tomlin and people guys, they usually have been very [upset] as a result of Jones did nothing at his Professional Day.
As Pauline identified, Jones mailed it in on the Senior Bowl and didn’t do a full exercise on the mix both. The hype round Jones began to swell within the offseason when his freakish measurables, together with his unreal wingspan, got here out. However his movie has by no means backed up his measurement. Taking Jones off the board can solely assist the Steelers look elsewhere for a solution.
