The Seattle Seahawks have made a big move in NFL free agency, signing defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones. Jones, who was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, is expected to make an immediate impact on the Seahawks’ defense.
Jones had a standout career at Ohio State, where he was a two-time All-Big Ten selection and a two-time All-American. He was also named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in 2018. In his three seasons with the Broncos, he recorded 8.5 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, and four passes defended.
The Seahawks are hoping that Jones can help bolster their defensive line, which has been a weak spot in recent years. He has the size and athleticism to play both defensive tackle and defensive end, giving the Seahawks a versatile option up front. He also has the ability to get to the quarterback, something the Seahawks have lacked in recent years.
The addition of Jones should help improve the Seahawks’ pass rush and run defense. He has the potential to be a disruptive force in the middle of the defense and should be able to help free up space for the linebackers and defensive backs to make plays.
The signing of Jones is a great move for the Seahawks and should help them improve on defense in 2021. He has the potential to be an impact player for years to come and should help the Seahawks take another step towards becoming a Super Bowl contender.
