The wide receiver was reportedly removed from multiple NFL teams' draft boards due to off-the-field issues, but Rich Rodriguez defended his former player
As the 2016 NFL Draft rapidly approaches, former Arizona Wildcats wide receiver Cayleb Jones' draft stock is in flux.
Not necessarily because of his talent -- or lack thereof -- but because of off-the-field issues. In fact, some teams have dropped Jones from their draft boards altogether because of character concerns, according to Matt Miller of Bleacher Report.
Multiple teams have told me that Bowling Green WR Roger Lewis and Arizona WR Cayleb Jones are off their boards due to off-field issues

It's not exactly clear what the specific concerns are about, but Jones had notable off-the-field issues before he arrived at Arizona.
