Jack Jones, a rookie cornerback, was signed by the New England Patriots on Thursday. The agreement is for four years and $4.4 million, including a $747,000 signing bonus, according to Jamal Tooson, his agent.
Cole Strange, an offensive lineman, and Tyquan Thornton, a receiver, were the top two picks by New England, but neither has been signed as the Patriots’ obligatory minicamp comes to an end at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.
Of course, premium draft picks frequently put off signing contracts until the final few days before training camp begins in late July.
The Patriots selected three players in the fourth round, including Jack Jones.
In an 11-on-11 drill on Wednesday, Jack Jones continued his strong performance from this week’s minicamp by intercepting a throw from Bailey Zappe.
In 2016, Jones was a 5-star talent fresh out of high school and committed to USC. He made an early impact and saw action as a true freshman before being given a starting position as a sophomore.
Jones led the Trojans in interceptions during his second season there, but he was later dismissed from the team in the spring of his junior year due to academic concerns, and the following summer he got into legal trouble.
