When Texas A&M defensive back Jaylon Jones entered the NFL draft in 2023, there were a few concerns about whether he should’ve stayed for one more year. However, he decided to bet on himself and was eventually picked in the seventh round by the Indianapolis Colts.
The No. 221 overall pick earned playing time last season and has been leaned on this season. Until this point, while a solid contributor, he hasn’t got an interception in his professional career. On Sunday, he had one of the better games of his short time in the league, with two interceptions and five tackles.
His timely picks helped secure the Colts’ first win of the season in a 21-16 win over the Chicago Bears. Below, you can watch both interceptions from the game. Jones’ size, length, and growing defensive instincts have quickly made him an absolute steal for the Colts.
On the route like ketchup on a hot dog. ðŸŒ
