LSU’s long, versatile edge presence with real NFL traits
Sai’vion Jones emerged at LSU as a productive, high-upside defensive end, finishing his 2024 season with 40 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, 2 pass breakups, 2 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery, after posting 33 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 2023. His best selling points are size, length, and position flexibility — at 6-foot-6 and around 280 pounds, evaluators praised him as a front-line piece who can hold up against the run and rotate across alignments. He was ultimately a 2025 third-round NFL draft pick, which is the cleanest signal that teams viewed him as a legitimate pro fit.
