Top standouts from Raiders’ Saturday scrimmage

Cornerback Jack Jones has had a “the more you can do” mentality in training camp, putting his best foot forward on defense and special teams.

During Saturday’s special team periods, he delivered on his kick and punt returns. With speed and shifty moves, he made the gunner miss tackles on several occasions for big returns.

As for his defensive play, he came up with the second of three interceptions on the day for his unit as a pass went through a receiver’s hands with Jones in perfect position to make the play.

“I’m just glad that we keep stacking back-to-back days with Jack,” Head Coach Antonio Pierce said Friday. “Everything I talk [about] with Jack is about being consistent, being a pro, being on time, being where you’re supposed to be, talking, communicating, being accountable, making it to where everybody can trust and love you. You know, Jack’s a special player. He’s been a special player since I’ve known him. And when Jack is in a good place, the Raiders are in a good place.”
