What separates me from others is my physicality, my press coverage in man to man or zone coverages, ball hawking ability and the fact that I can tackle as cornerback  is what separates me 

When you are breaking down film, what do you look for?

First I’m looking for the WR. stance and his alignment, what he does pre snap each play, his spacing if he is way outside or has a cut split inside, then I see what routes he likes to run and what routes he runs best as well as the speed of the receiver. And I like to know what kind of QB I’m playing against if he’s a lefty or right, if he’s a pocket QB or a scrambler or even both.

Tevin Jones
