Darnell Wright has the traits and tape of an All-Pro right tackle. If he’s the Bears target in the first round, it says a lot about their belief in Braxton Jones.
"I was proud of Braxton," Poles said at his end-of-season press conference."He’s got a long ways to go to reach his ceiling but for his path, and if you look … not many people look at the schedule for a player who goes into the offseason, Senior Bowl, combine, comes in as a fifth-round pick, battles through camp, gets a spot and then plays every single snap through the season. That’s an accomplishment right there. That tells me he’s wired right.
From Weeks 1 to 6, Jones was among the worst pass-protecting tackles in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus. Jones allowed 11 pressures and four sacks in just 103 pass-blocking snaps in those first six games. All four of those sacks and 10 of those pressures came in true-pass sets where Jones ranked dead last in efficiency at 81.1.
In the final five games of the season, Jones gave up just eight total pressures and two sacks. Those numbers rank 15th and 30th among the 54 tackles with at least 150 pass-block snaps in the final five weeks. In true pass sets, Jones gave up five pressures and one sack, good for an efficiency rating of 95.5, ranking 25th.
