disruptive, downhill linebacker with proven backfield production
Cornel Jones profiles as an aggressive, tackling-first linebacker whose best trait is his ability to create negative plays; in 2019 at Purdue, he played in all 13 games with 12 starts and logged 69 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. That kind of backfield disruption suggests a player who reads quickly, attacks decisively, and can fit a defense that values physicality and pressure. If you want a linebacker with proven production and an edge in run support and blitzing, Jones is worth a hard look.
