Chicago Bears offense is at its BEST behind Braxton Jones: Film Breakdown
In this film breakdown, we take a look at Chicago Bears rookie LT Braxton Jones.
Jones was viewed as a developmental tackle prospect, coming into the draft, yet through 10 weeks, he is PFF's highest graded rookie OT. He is big, mobile, and athletic enough to lead the Bears RBs and WRs downfield on screens and sweeps, and is showing signs of very high potential as an NFL OT.

Strengths:
- Size and strength: Jones has good size and strength for an offensive lineman. He is listed at 6'6" and 310 pounds, and has shown the ability to overpower defenders at the college level.
- Physicality: Jones is a physical player who plays with good leverage and is able to create movement in the run game. He is not afraid to initiate contact and has a mean streak on the field.
- Versatility: Jones has experience playing both tackle and guard positions, which adds to his value as a lineman.
- Work ethic: Jones has been praised for his work ethic and dedication to improving his game. He is a hard worker both on and off the field.
Weaknesses:
- Footwork: Some scouts have noted that Jones needs to improve his footwork in pass protection. He can struggle at times with quick-twitch edge rushers and needs to work on his lateral movement.
- Technique: Jones can be inconsistent with his technique, particularly in his hand placement and pad level. He will need to refine his technique to become a more consistent player at the next level.
