Overview
It's hard to grade some of these Georgia defenders after they have been dominating college football because while they are obviously talented individually they benefit and feed off of each other to a point where they simply thrive off of how well they mesh on the field and when you take them apart, a lot of time's they fail to replicate the production. Christopher Jones was an excellent safety on the back end of their defense that not only made plays but helped his fellow defensive backs by communicating offensive movements and informing them of potential plays which allowed him to maximize his potential in his specific role. If an NFL defensive coordinator is looking for a chess piece in their secondary that can line up and play anywhere on defense no questions asked, Christopher Smith certainly fits that need, but asking him to takeover and change a bad secondary could reveal deficiencies in his own game as well. If he can work his tackling ability and hit the track and field to improve his overall speed, he could be fixture in an NFL safety for years.
