Former Ohio State player has blunt response when asked about Urban Meyer’s ability to connect with NFL players
Published:
Urban Meyers’ time in Jacksonville is off to a rocky start. The Jaguars are 0-1 to start the season after losing 37-21 on the road against the Houston Texans.
There have been reports that veterans in Jacksonville do not like the way that Meyer coaches.
On Thursday, former Buckeye and current Denver Broncos DT Dre’Mont Jones was asked about Meyer and the rumors about players being unhappy with his coaching style in Jacksonville.
His response was short and to the point:
Dre’Mont Jones, who played at Ohio State under Urban Meyer, on if he’s surprised that veterans aren’t connecting with Meyer:
“No.”

That blunt of a response is a pretty big indictment on how Meyers’ tenure has been going in the NFL so far.
In 2020, Jones had 41 combined tackles, 7 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks for the Broncos.
Jones against the New York Giants in week 1 had a pretty quiet day with just 2 tackles and 1 tackle for loss in the Broncos 27-13 win at MetLife Stadium.
Jacksonville takes on Denver this Sunday at 1:00 ET on CBS in the home opener.
