The Facts:
Jones' primary offensive role as a rookie will be a change-of-pace back. But the Cowboys also plan to put him on the field with Marion Barber on occasion. Barber and Jones lined up in the backfield together several times during today's workout. Barber lined up in front of the offset I with Jones starting at tailback and motioning out wide.

Felix didn't put up big receiving numbers at Arkansas, which had a poor passing games. But the Cowboys' scouts and coaches saw a back with good hands and route-running ability who could blossom as a receiver in the pros. "I'm very comfortable with it," said Jones, who played some slot receiver at Arkansas. "Right now, they're just getting me introduced to it. They're just showing me some of the things that I can do in the future."
