<p>As a part of their great offseason, the Dallas Cowboys took corner Bryon Jones No. 27 overall. And Jones impressed the Cowboys right away with his coverage on Dez Bryant in training camp. From there, Jones has started switching back and forth corner to safety and doing well.</p> <p>Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said told 105.3 The Fan’s G-Bag Nation show [KRLD-FM], “Not all guys could do it. I think he’s unique in terms of the positions that he’s playing. He’s playing nickel, he’s playing dime, he’s playing press corner, he’s playing free safety, and he seems to have a grasp for it.</p> <p>“It doesn’t seem too big for him. He seems to be able to step right in and play any of the positions that we ask him to play. He’s very versatile, which is very important for us right now. We couldn’t be more pleased with how he’s really absorbing everything out there. We really feel like whatever we ask him to do out there that he’s capable of doing it.”</p> <p> </p>. CB.
