Roderick Jones brings size and edge-setting upside to Southern’s tight end room
Roderick Jones is a former defensive end recruit/transfer profile, so the main appeal is his physical frame and football toughness rather than proven receiving production; publicly available info on his current Southern University role and recent college-game impact is limited, which makes him more of a developmental upside bet than a finished product. That kind of profile can fit a staff looking for a TE who can handle contact, contribute on special teams, and grow into a blocking-first or hybrid role if he develops the hands and route nuance to match the body.
