Patriots select DB Cyrus Jones in 2nd round, 60th overall
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – The New England Patriots have selected defensive back Cyrus Jones from Alabama with the 60th pick in the NFL draft.
Jones was New England’s first pick in this year’s draft. The Patriots had their first-round pick taken away as part of their punishment for the scandal that came to be known as “Deflategate.”
Jones is a 5-foot-10, 196-pound cornerback who also returned punts for the Crimson Tide.
The Patriots had been scheduled to pick 61st as well. They traded that pick to the New Orleans Saints.
