04/25/20 - Josh Jones, rSr/2020, Houston, 6-5, 319 (DS#2 OG) + More +

A year ago, Josh Jones briefly contemplated a transfer to another school or declaring early for the NFL draft. The University of Houston had changed coaching staffs, which meant a fourth offensive line coach in five years. "I did for a second with the uncertainty … just looking at my future," Jones said at the time. "(To come back for my senior year) was the best decision for me." Projected as a late first round pick, Jones, the 6-5, 319-pound linchpin of the Cougars' offensive line, had to wait longer than expected before finally being taken by the Arizona Cardinals in the third round of the NFL draft.

The selection of Jones, a local product who played at Bush High School before a four-year career at UH, marks the fifth straight year the Cougars have had at least one player selected in the draft, the longest stretch since 1989-94. A three-year starter at left tackle for the Cougars, Jones' draft stock appeared to rise after the NFL scouting combine and Senior Bowl. NFL personnel raved about his athleticism and toughness. But after not being among the seven offensive linemen taken in the first round, Jones was finally selected with the 72nd overall pick. - Houston Chronicle
