The Facts: Jones has the physical tools to be a standout. He possesses impressive size for a running back (6 foot 2, 231 pounds) and, at times, used that size quite effectively. He proved to be reliable pass catcher despite catching only a few balls in college. And he showed that he's got the ability to run over defenders as well as make them miss. (Remember the screen pass he took 78 yards for a touchdown against New Orleans?) But he's got some work to do if hopes to be the No. 1 running back that Jay Gruden and Co. hope he'll eventually become.

Diehards Line: According to CSNMidAtlantic.com's Tarik El-Bashir, Jones' first priority this offseason has to be better ball security. You can see a bit of a silver lining in that he only lost one fumble in his final six games after losing three in his first seven. But he's going to be known as a player afflicted fumble-itis until he proves that he's cured. Jones also must take better care of his body. He acknowledged to me on locker clear out day that he learned late in the season just how important it is to spend ample time in the training room—even when you’re not hurt. Again, Jones has all the pieces to be the Redskins’ starter next season. But now he's got to put it all together.
