Colin Jones is one of those guys every team needs. He’s really good at special teams and he’s decent enough that he won’t kill your defense if he has to play as a substitute for a series or two. He’s not a superstar, but he’s an important cog in the wheel of a successful team.
With only 42 days until the NFL season kicks off, let’s take a closer look at Carolina’s special teams ace.

Career
Colin Jones’ primary job is to be a gunner on special teams. With blazing speed and an uncanny ability to down punts, Jones has kept himself on the Panthers’ 53-man roster every year since he was acquired for a 7th round pick from San Francisco in 2012. With little evidence of him slowing down, it looks like he will once again be on the field for the Panthers in 2017, making sure opponents are locked in a difficult starting position whenever the Panthers are forced to punt the football.
