TAMPA — After a rookie season that saw Bucs running back Ronald Jones’ ability beaten and his confidence broken, the team’s second-year player will enter training camp as one of the team’s most intriguing figures.
A new coaching staff offers Jones a fresh set of eyes and opportunity. Jones, drafted in the second round, played sparingly last year, and when he was on the field, he wasn’t productive, carrying the ball 23 times for an average of 1.9 yards.
“Last year, it was definitely disappointing for me for myself and from a team standpoint,” Jones said recently during mandatory minicamp.
