Dawand Jones is a 'Confirmed House' with Combine-High Size

Former Ohio State Buckeyes offensive tackle Dawand Jones set some 2023 NFL Scouting Combine highs at his measurement Sunday.

It's no secret: Dawand Jones is huge.

The former Ohio State Buckeyes right tackle is everything size-wise that an NFL general manager would look for, and as he works out Sunday at the NFL Scouting Combine, he measured in as the largest of all participants.

The NFL's Twitter called Jones an "absolute unit" while ESPN's Field Yates said he was a "confirmed house."

Ohio State RT Dawand Jones is a confirmed house:

His official measurements at 6-8 1/4, 374 pounds, 11 5/8-inch hand width, 36 3/8-inch arm length and 87 7/8-inch wingspan all were combine highs among all participants.

According to Pro Football Focus, Jones received the 10th-highest offensive grade among all FBS tackles — one spot behind former teammate and fellow NFL Scouting Combine participant Paris Johnson Jr. — and was graded as the ninth-best run blocker.

In 393 allowed pressure opportunities, Jones did not allow a sack or a hit on former quarterback C.J. Stroud, while only allowing five hurries all season, according to Pro Football Focus.

In his 40-yard dash, the former high school basketball player ran an unofficial time of 5.36 seconds.

The Indianapolis native garnered high praise from Jim Nagy, executive director of the Reese's Senior Bowl, who said Jones "sounds like a 1st rounder."
