Weaknesses:

Notes:
A three-year starter for the Orange --- Brother Arthur also played at Syracuse and is now with the Baltimore Ravens --- Brother Jon "Bones" Jones is a
UFC Fighter --- Named 2nd Team All-Big East in 2010 and 1st Team in 2011 --- Could project as a defensive or outside linebacker in a 3-4 or a defensive end in a 4-3 --- Not a dynamic pass rusher but ability to play multiple positions in either an even or odd front will be a major selling point on Draft Day --- An extremely intriguing physical specimen who is essentially a raw ball of clay waiting to be molded.
