Felix Jones may be the biggest game breaker in this class. He can take just about any ball that he touches to the house
for a touchdown, and his return skills are also extremely dangerous. He spelled Darren McFadden at Arkansas, and that
will hurt him, because he’s never been the # 1 guy before. Also, he is a little on the small side, so some teams will
wonder if he’s an every down back rather than a Maurice Jones-Drew type. He needs to work on his blocking and his
break tackle ability. When Jones is in the open field, he anticipates the defenders’ moves, and uses his speed to avoid
getting tackled. He has good hands and can be used in passing situations. If he gets some dump offs in the flats and screen passes he could make some noise. He can be used as a return man as he was an All-American his freshman year as a return man. He could have stayed one more year and tried to prove something without McFadden there, but he didn't, which makes me question whether he himself thinks he can be a feature back
