“Josh Jones is exactly what we thought he was,” defensive lineman Mike Daniels said on Saturday. “He comes in, and he’s quiet, but he shows up with bad attitude and that’s what you need out there on the defensive side of the ball.”Jones has been playing a hybrid role at linebacker and safety early in camp. His size, speed and physicality could make him a tone-setting weapon for the Packers defense, especially in the middle of the field.
The rookie also made plays against the run on Saturday, including a slicing tackle for loss against running back Aaron Jones to end a team run drill. No. 27 seems to show up with one or two impressive plays every single practice.
Daniels and Jones appear cut from the same cloth.
“Just his demeanor alone, screams out that he’s here for business,” Daniels said. “That’s always welcomed, especially from young guys.”
