Dawand 'Big Thanos' Jones, Ohio State OL, breaks eye-popping Senior Bowl record
Dawand ‘Big Thanos’ Jones has already made an impression at the Senior Bowl.
The Ohio State offensive lineman registered the longest wingspan ever at the Senior Bowl in the 74 years of the NFL scouting event. Jones is listed at 6-foot-8 1/8 and 375 pounds. An analyst on NFL+ noted that Jones was encouraged to keep playing basketball by Ohio State coaches in order to stay in shape.
Jones is believed to be projected as a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but scouts and media attention has picked up to the point where he’s being mentioned as a potential first-rounder.
A former 3-star prospect in the 2019 recruiting class, Jones became a stalwart on the Ohio State offensive line.
