Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 850257">Most running backs coming out of college have the talent to catch the ball. It's a different thing doing it in real games at full speed in the NFL though.Jones wasn't able to consistently make a play in the passing game during his first two seasons with the Packers. Fortunately it's pretty obvious he has improved in that area this season. As a side note, I think it's hilarious when posters around here brag about being great talent evaluators because they claim having been correct about something while using hindsight. All that while 32 teams decided 18 running backs should be selected earlier that draft.Let me be clear about it, I'm well aware that I don't have the knowledge to scout college or NFL players properly. Neither do you. The difference being that you don't realize that.Lastly, I'm happy that I was wrong about Jones as a receiver as the Packers hugely benefit from him excelling as a pass catcher as well.Here's a terrible drop from Jones just two weeks ago:[MEDIA=youtube]3kCRBXjJIz4[/MEDIA]I'm not interested in searching for any other examples from 2017 and '18. If you watched the games you know Jones struggled catching balls in his first two years with the team.</blockquote>
