INDIANAPOLIS – It has only been a few short months since Jamarco Jones and his Ohio State teammates celebrated a Big Ten Championship Game win at Lucas Oil Stadium. Now, he is back as part of the NFL Scouting Combine with even more on the line as he goes through the biggest job interview of his life.

"I was actually walking by the field earlier today and I was like, 'Wow, I was here a couple of months ago,' but obviously different this time around not playing football, not with the Buckeyes but it’s still a great feeling to be here," Jones said as he met with the media as part of his combine experience.

Jones is one of 11 Buckeyes at the NFL Combine, the second most of any school this year.

Many players dream of playing in the NFL, but Jones' dream is close to coming true as he is being put through the paces by NFL coaches and executives as they try and get their draft boards in order in advance of the upcoming NFL Draft.

"This is like a dream come true," Jones said. "I’ve been looking forward to this for a while. Since you started playing football, the opportunity to do this, and so it’s just kind of surreal being here."

Many draft experts have Jones penciled in to be a third or fourth round selection but that there is a high ceiling for a lengthy NFL career out of a player that may not be the most-flashy on the field or have a lot of 'wow features'.

Jones measured in at 6-foot-4, 299 pounds but shocked many with an 85 and 1/8th inch wingspan.

"I know I’m not the ideal height I would say for a tackle so (teams will) probably ask if I could move around but I think I could play tackle and guard in the league," Jones said. "I’ll do whatever a team wants me to do."

Jones' uncommon wingspan will help make up for the lack of height however.

"For one, my arm span definitely helps. I’m not necessarily 6-foot-7’ but I have the arm span of some of the guys that are 6-foot-7 so that definitely helps me and I think I move my feet pretty well on the edge when it comes to pass blocking and things like that," Jones added.

It also does not hurt going against one of the best defensive fronts in college football for four years and playing in the Big Ten, a conference that had no shortage of solid defensive looks to help Jones improve his game.

"Just seeing those type of talent, a lot of guys who transferred to the NFL and are playing well in NFL, getting to go up against those guys week in and week out it’s just a great experience," Jones said. "And even in practice all the defensive ends we’ve had while I’ve been at Ohio State has also been great to help prepare me. This next step is a pretty big step, but I think that going to Ohio State definitely helped that."
