2013 NFL Draft outside linebacker rankings

Dale Zanine-US PRESSWIRE

Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones is the top outside linebacker in the class, but his spot on the top is tenuous. Jones’ draft stock is directly tied to medical checks at the NFL Combine. Don’t expect Jones to be overly impressive in Indianapolis if he chooses to work out. He likely won’t measure well and his workout times may not stand out. But on the field, he’s productive rushing from the edge.
