Colts Daniel Jones ranked among top QBs in two categories
The Colts' Daniel Jones was ranked among the top quarterbacks in two categories by one NFL analyst.
The Indianapolis Colts' Daniel Jones was recognized twice by Dan Orlovsky, a quarterback analyst, in his ranking of the NFL's top ten quarterbacks based on specific traits. Jones made an appearance in the mechanics section, ranking at No. 3, trailing only Matthew Stafford and Joe Burrow. Mechanics are crucial for accurate passing and maintaining play timing.
Despite initial surprise, Orlovsky praised Jones' mechanics after reviewing video from last season when the Colts utilized many different forms of RPOs. Jones' name then surfaced in the pocket presence category, where he was placed at No. 9 out of 44 eligible quarterbacks last season. PFF rated Jones 12th in pressure-to-sack rate, demonstrating his capacity to remain upright even when under pressure.
He also ranked third in completion rate during challenging situations. Although Jones didn't rank among the top ten in rushing ability, Orlovsky still acknowledged his performance in this area.
