Jonathan Jones, formerly of the New England Patriots, is enthusiastic about joining the Washington Commanders after their recent management overhaul. With new owner Josh Harris and notable hires like GM Adam Peters and HC Dan Quinn, he sees a positive transformation. Jones sought insights about Quinn from former players, including Stephon Gilmore, who praised Quinn as an outstanding coach. At 5'9", Jones acknowledges his smaller stature but emphasizes his physicality and versatility as a defender, eager to adapt to defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.’s schemes.
CB Jonathan Jones said he called some friends who played for Quinn and got nothing but good feedback. Stephon Gilmore was among those who gave Quinn a glowing recommendation to Jones.
Jonathan Jones said he talked to Stephon Gilmore about playing for Dan Quinn. Said Gilmore told him he was a "phenomenal coach" and that it would be "one of the best decisions you can make."
CB Jonathan Jones was asked if he ever imagined wanting to come to Washington given their recent history: "To be honest with you, I didn't. I didn't think that would be part of the plan. Just seeing the turmoil here ... Just seeing how quickly it turned around is what stood out to..."
Jones is considered a smaller corner but strong tackler: "i may be delusional but I never see myself at that size" says he is "physical."
