How Ronald Jones fared in his first NFL preseason game

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a chance on ex-USC standout running back Ronald Jones in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. How did he look in his first preseason game?

Ronald Jones was nothing but electric in his time at USC. He did all the right things a running back could do — run hard, break tackles (Jones is deceptively strong), and possess elite speed to win footraces. Because of this, the running back-needy Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Jones early in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, which had a stacked running-back class, including the likes of Penn State’s Saquon Barkley and LSU’s Derrius Guice.
