Maine’s dependable, physical RB who brings veteran toughness
Nigel Jones has been a productive, compact power back for Maine, with a breakout 2013 season in which he ran for 596 yards and 8 rushing touchdowns, then opened 2014 by topping 1,000 career rushing yards early in the year. His calling cards are toughness, balance, and a willingness to do the dirty work—he’s also been praised for improving as a pass catcher and blocker, which makes him more than a one-dimensional runner. The standout question is health: he missed part of the 2014 season with injury, so his fit is best for teams wanting a reliable, physical back who can handle volume when available.
