Sidney Jones

CB, Washington

The Seattle Seahawks will head to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in the Divisional Round this weekend, after shellacking the Detroit Lions this past Saturday. Quarterback Russell Wilson continues to win games, and running back Thomas Rawls shook off what looked to be a concussion early to rush for two touchdowns. Wide receiver Doug Baldwin has become one of the better players at his position in the NFC, and the team is winning despite the season-ending injury to star safety Earl Thomas.

While the defense has led the way during the team’s recent Super Bowl runs, they could always use some help in the secondary. Sidney Jones does not play far away, as he has been a star cornerback for the Washington Huskies during his collegiate career. He is used to playing in the frigid temperatures in the Northwest, and would be a perfect fit with Richard Sherman and company in the Seahawks secondary.

Jones is an incredible talent, and has shown that he can shut down the best receivers in the Pac-12 during his time with the Huskies. He was a main reason why the team made it to the College Football Playoff in 2016, and is going to be a solid player at the next level. Thomas has said he is going to return, and if Seattle adds to their secondary next April, they will once again have one of the more elite defenses in the league.
