Charlie Jones was an All-American selection in 2022.
Jones is going to be 25 years old this October and was in college for six years. He redshirted his freshman year at Buffalo before eventually transferring to Iowa, where he had to sit out a year due to NCAA transfer rules. After two seasons on the field as primarily a return specialist, he transferred to Purdue for his final year of eligibility and had a breakthrough season as a receiver. In 13 games played, Jones caught 110 passes for a school-record 1,361 yards and 12 touchdowns.
He can return kicks and punts and sounds like a reliable possession receiver without being much of a deep threat, and at 5’11 and 175 lbs he’s not exactly a jump ball target. I don’t think the Seahawks need to just stack deep threats if they can just get chain-movers outside of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, so Jones may be worth a closer look as a Day 3 option.
