Hey Mike. Appreciate your coverage on the Pats. What are your thoughts on Justin Jones? Potential starter? He sounds like a freak (6’8″ with a 37″ vert) which makes a pretty huge catching radius or redzone threat? Especially with Gronk banged up I think he could come in and be a legitimate threat or at least mismatch for other teams? Thoughts?

Yeah, it sounds like the Pats have had their eye on him for a while. Like most tight ends coming out of college he’ll have to develop his blocking, but his size and ability to catch the ball are intriguing. 

But we thought the same thing about Zach Sudfeld last year and he didn’t quite live up to some of the plays he made in training camp and the preseason.

Jones will be one to watch this summer.
