Draft Rewind 2008 - Felix Jones - Dallas Cowboys

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about FELIX JONES: Arkansas, 5101 207 4.47. Junior entry. Started eleven games over three years, splitting time and sharing the backfield with Darren McFadden. A darter that runs the speed sweep after handoffs from McFadden. Bender/weaver type runner with rare lateral quickness. Quick cuts on sweep. Elusive. Stays on his feet. Can make the first defender miss in space. Presses the hole when he runs north and south. Gets his big yardage on gadget plays (i.e.: reverse off of option.) Catches the ball in his hands. Gives a good effort to block. A downhill runner that can make speed cuts out of the one back set. Rare quickness. Instinctive runner with vision and balance. Explosive out of the one back set. Can hit the crease at full speed. Excellent initial quickness. Question whether he can be a feature back because of size, but will be an excellent complementary back. Has the speed to outrun angles. Plays gunner on the punt team. He can make an open field tackle. Additionally has four kickoff returns for touchdowns in his career. Has 39 career catches for 383 yards and 3 touchdowns. Durability is unknown because he has never been the feature back and has fringe size. OSR:6/33. First/ second round. (A-32 3/8, H-8 3/8, SS-4.21, BP-13).
