LOL. One of the least athletic first-round pass rushers I've ever seen, and drew criticism as a rookie for lacking bulk and strength. Yep, big strong and athletic nails it.

To be fair, the author of the story was probably comparing Jones to himself. But then again, I'm sure the current form of Casey Hampton would also be superior in each category.

Good read. I agree that JJ might not be as explosive as we'd like but he does have great football IQ and uses his hands well. I think he was slowed down even more last year because he had to think not just see and react and he is just not athletic enough to lose a step thinking. He also was a bit soft from what I saw last year so hopefully with proper nutrition and weight training he did increase his overall strength and speed this year.
