Barry Church: I'd be lying if I said Stephen Jones' recent comments didn't bother me

He wasn't always good, that's for sure. he had some times he got exposed badly and while he was a good athlete the speed of the NFL was too much for him early on.

But he has improved and was clearly better last year as the season wore on. he does show some ability to make plays, which is something we sorely lack.

I have no problem giving him the chance to compete for the job, but he shouldn't be handed the thing. Doesn't sound like the team disagrees either since they've been spending a lot of time with safeties.

.“We feel like he’s able to compete for that spot,” Heath said. “Who knows what’s going to happen here in the next week in terms of who we draft, but we feel really good about him and his chance to compete for one of those starting safety spots.

Heath can run a 4.48 and he refers to himself in 3rd person. Elite traits.

Well, Heath does make plays compared to our other secondary players we've trotted out there.
