DL Travis Jones headed to Senior Bowl

Think that is Zion Johnson too. Travis is killing it.

Travis Jones hasn't hurt his draft stock at all so far and has improved it with his power moves.

Someone mention he is nothing more than a pocket pusher, well if he does that and occupies two blockers he is doing the job they expect and would make most NFL teams happy.

Shamar Stephon is sticking doing just that. So he has the opportunity. Travis is showing he is more than just pocket pusher. He's showing he has technique and speed to shake off blockers to rush the QB too. He's absolutely shooting up his draft stock.

If that is Zion Johnson (makes sense considering the helmet) a) Travis is making a borderline round one pick look bad and b) they either overstated Johnson's size or understated Travis' size (both are supposedly 6'3"-6'4" and ~330) as Travis looks considerably bigger (and quicker).

I'm going to go with overstating Johnson's size.

Travis is looking sneaky quick and powerful.

Travis Jones in beast mode...

Has there ever been a UConn player go to the Senior Bowl and not help their draft status?

Seems like every time we've had someone go there, the media covering practices comment on how well they play.

Andrew Stueber has got to be sick of Travis by now.

Andrew Stueber has got to be sick of Travis by now.

Jones is taking money from Stueber each snap like Boat and Bazz did to the Harrison twins on Kentucky.

The one thing I noticed about Travis how well he holds all that weight. No way I'd guess he's 330. Especially with the way he's moving.

Lawrdy.

I think you have to give a standing O for our dearly departed Dennis Dottin-Carter. Travis came out of New Haven with enormous potential. But these video clips show refinement onto his god-given Power. He marches forward for all of us. Turn the page kid; you have a great future ahead of you.

Travis Jones is making the some of the best Olinemen in the county look down right silly. The dude is going to skyrocket up the draft with what I expect as a huge combine performance.

We rarely saw that kind of explosion on the DL for UConn. It's crazy to think that Edsall came up with a scheme that ignored Travis's gifts.

He was always double teamed, even by Clemson. This isn't rocket science

Right. You have to think he is gone by the third round. Even if he has some room for improvement his size/speed/strength alone makes him worth taking a chance in round 3.

Every team was well prepared for Travis. It's a shame Edsall most likely handcuffed Spanos's defenses for fear of the young secondary. Having Travis take up so much of the Oline's attention should have resulted in a lot of pressure on the QB by the LB's.

Without question he could sneak into end of day one. Would love for Packers to take him to pair with Kenny Clark.

Travis is making lots of money in Mobile!
The Steelers appear especially interested as described by their on site scouting folks:
– Coach Tomlin looking closely at Travis Jones for much of the position work to start practice.
– Tomlins eyes are following defensive lineman Travis Jones and edge rusher Myjai Sanders for much of the opening period with the national team defensive line.
– OL Zion Johnson with the great one-on-one rep versus Travis Jones. Jones anchoring in and stalling his rush
– Travis Jones wins very next rep against Johnson with swim move over the shoulder
-Travis Jones with the long arm on Michigan’s Andrew Stueber, walking him back into the backfield.
He was compared to a leaner version of Vince Wilfolk by the announcers. They expect him to add some weight and be a monster in the middle.
