2022 Senior Bowl: Daniel Jeremiah's top 10 NFL draft winners from week of practice​

UConn DT Travis Jones

Jones was probably the most physically dominant player in Mobile. He consistently showed pure power. At 6-4 and 326 pounds, he was walking offensive linemen back to the quarterback the entire week. He's not going to be a scheme fit for everybody, but he's a mauling player at the point of attack. There was not much buzz on him coming into the week from the personnel evaluators I spoke to, and he made sure to get everyone's attention once the pads were on. He generated some excitement.

The kudos keep coming. It’s amazing that while we kept hearing he was highly touted by the scouts, many of us didn’t really appreciate what we had in Travis as we watched the games. The scouts saw it early in our season — that’s why they’re scouts and we’re not—lol. They also praised Omar Fortt and Ryan Van Demark. Let’s see how it goes for all of our guys. Fingers crossed.

Travis Jones—It's important to not put too much stock in the offensive line vs. defensive line one-on-one drills because it favors the defense. That said, it's hard not to get excited about Jones' performance, both in those drills and during UConn's otherwise abysmal season. He's built like a bowling ball and his low center of gravity coupled with his ability to win at the snap makes him an easy guy to like. Especially impressive were his encounters with OL standout Zion Johnson (BC).

Is that fair? Getting triple-teamed in practice?

As a rule, I'm anti-victory lap but you earned this one. And I'm thinking no one else was digging it out. Great call!

Not much better way to show your power than to walk the O-linemen straight back into a sack without even touching the QB.

Jones may have just worked himself into discussion for a late first round selection. Definitely won't be on the board after the second.

Congrats young man, you absolutely tore it up. Go make your alma mater proud and kick some butt at the next level!

“Travis Jones – IDL, UCONN

Travis Jones out of the University of Connecticut had one of the strongest weeks out of anyone on the roster. Jones consistently flashed all week and was un-blockable at times. Jones is a massive player who projects as a nose tackle at the next level. Out of all the nose tackles here this week, Jones was the most disruptive. He was especially impressive during the 1-on-1s and his forceful punch was eye opening all week. Coming from a smaller school never makes it easy for a prospect to rise to a higher competition level at All-Star events, and Jones did an outstanding job this week showing he can compete with anybody.”
