Posted Apr 29, 2017
Nazair Jones became the second defensive tackle drafted by the Seahawks on Friday, with Seattle using the 102nd overall pick to acquire the 6-foot-5, 304-pound North Carolina Tar Heel. As a senior, Jones recorded a career-high 70 total tackles, 2.5 sacks and three pass breakups. His long arms (34? inches) and strong hands (10? inches) are what impress most.
