Byron Jones Says He's Moving To Cowboys' Free Safety Position

Byron Jones was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round (27th overall) from Connecticut in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Although the Cowboys thought his best position was at free safety, his versatility and ability to learn different positions allowed the defense to use him in different packages and to deal with different player injuries.
During the 2015-16 season, Jones (6' 1", 205) played mainly at safety and slot corner, matching man-to-man against the opponents' biggest receivers.
On Thursday night, at the Dallas Cowboys NFL Draft Party, Jones told 105.3 The Fan of his plan to take over the Free Safety spot.
"You never know what is going to happen during the season." said Jones. "But for now, free safety sounds good to me."
