2021 Impact Assessment

Jones Jr. looks poised to be Tennessee's number one option at wide receiver, and he should thrive in Josh Heupel's system. The speedster from Alabama burst onto the scene for Tennessee in the second half of the 2020 season, and he will now be the leader of a relatively young, but talented group of pass catchers.
