Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones signed his four-year rookie deal Thursday, June 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: The second round pick could step right into a significant role, but is that an indicator of production? The Buccaneers offensive line wasn’t great last year and everyone struggled. Jones is the more explosive player in the backfield, but does have some issues in pass protection – which could keep him off the field on some downs. He also has great field vision and speed. And while he didn’t catch much at USC, he showed some playmaking ability on occasion when they asked him to. We think the line is his biggest challenge, and that is what keeps him from being higher than an upside RB4 and definitely makes him a guy to watch this summer.
