Washington. Sidney Jones. 27. player. 44. Washington has a run of cornerbacks going to the NFL with Desmond Trufant and Marcus Peters. They are doing quite well in the NFL to so you know they are being taught well. Sidney Jones now looks like the next Washington cornerback to have his turn. <p>Jones is arguably the most polished cornerback coming out in the 2017 NFL Draft next spring. He has the physical tools, competitiveness and instincts to be a “shutdown” corner in the NFL. He plays in press-man, off-man, zone and he is rarely out of position when the ball comes his way.</p> <p>His instincts along with his explosiveness allows him to break on short and intermediate routes. Put that together with his outstanding ball skills and hands and you got turnovers. The Atlanta Falcons have a scheme that calls for him to play all off his different styles.</p> <p>So he would be an excellent fit with the Falcons on the other side of Trufant, also from Washington. The Falcons get after the quarterback pretty well these days and some coverage would help. If they had a little bit of defense to go with that offense, the Falcons would go far.</p>. CB
