Initially signed as an interior defensive lineman, changes are coming for Dre’Mont Jones.
It looks like a position switch is on the horizon for Dre’Mont Jones. Initially signed as a major addition to the Seattle Seahawks’ interior defensive line, Jones’ future on the roster may be tied to what he can do as an edge rusher. As shown in this Instagram reel by Jones’ trainer, Jackson Hayes, Dre’Mont is getting in some offseason EDGE/OLB reps. “ is going to be playing some outside linebacker this year,” Hayes wrote in a separate Instagram post.
As expected, he was predominantly lined up as a B-gap defender . After the Uchenna Nwosu injury and Leonard Williams trade, Jones saw his snap alignment predominantly to the edge. For whatever PFF grades are worth, his performances were better after the switch. Last season was the most that Jones has ever played on the outside in his NFL career, and even then he was predominantly in a 3-point stance and not tasked with dropping into coverage.
