    anybody know if he got any reps at ota's or minicamp, the coaching staff was high on him, last year, I think he's 5th in the pecking order at MLB , harris, Henderson, lee, carter, then him

    lol he was signed as an undrafted free agent after the 2015 draft , he was supposed to go in the 3rd or 4th round, like I said the coaching staff likes him a lot

    Yes he made a name for himself carrying the starters equipment and putting ice in cups on hot days.They gave the big responsibility of pouring water into the cups filled with ice to Geno Smith because Jones couldn't handle the pressure that came with the role as "lead water pouring guy"

    I really like Bruce Carters skill set on this team. Jones has some ability and it will be a camp battle for sure. Barring any Injury at the position it could come down to special teams play

    I followed him some at Michigan State. He made a hell of a lot of tackles. The knock on him was size and speed.

    Funny. I read an article before the draft last year and all he talked about was his lack of size and working on bulking up. Maybe he was just motivating himself.

    The other Jet players are getting fed up with him using the restroom in the locker room, not flushing, then putting a little sticker on the seat that says " Made in Taiwan" with his jersey number. Disgusting.

    My prediction is he is our replacement for Harris next year. Same type of player and I believe Bowles really likes him

    totally agree that he is harris' replacement, I think they will keep 9 linebackers instead of the traditional 8 , he will be on the 53, if they try to get him on the practice squad another team might scoop him up

    Definitely speed tho. He doesn't seem that quick either.

    Would have said McDonald's bound, but with 15 minimum wage an hour - those jobs are going away for good.
    The Jets are trying to get much quicker at inside Lb( coverage ability) , and Taiwan Jones is an old slow dinosaur Type of Lb. There isn't a place for that type of Lb today, as the league going with smaller fast Lb's .( guys that can matchup in coverage in a passing league).

    *Racist alert*

    Is he from Taiwan? That would make him the first Chinese WR in Jet uniform, no?
