Bengals WRs Coach Troy Walters on Charlie Jones: 'He Just Knows How to Get Open'

The Purdue product has shown multiple ways to contribute.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals have another slot option in former Purdue wide receiver Charlie Jones.

Check out what Cincinnati WRs coach Troy Walters had to say about his game.

“A combination of a lot of things," Walters said. "He has great ball skills. Anytime he’s in a 50-50 contested catch situation, he seemed to come down with it. And so, really everybody on our roster, all the receivers that we have have great ball skills, and so he adds to that as a guy that no matter where you throw the ball, he’s going to make the play. He’s a technical route runner. If it’s a 15-yard route, he’s going to run 15. If it’s 12 yards, he’s going to get 12.

"He knows how to manipulate coverages to beat the defenders at the top of his routes. He just knows how to get open. He’s a football player, and that’s what we need. Very similar to when I was in Indianapolis with Peyton Manning. With Joe (Burrow), he wants you to be in the right spot at the right time, and that’s what Charlie does. He’s going to be in the right spot. He’s someone that Joe can count on. He’s going to be able to count on, and all the receivers that we have are those type of guys that Joe has confidence in. He knows they’re going to run the right route, do the right things. We’re excited to have him.”

The 24-year-old had a nation-leading 110 receptions for 1,361 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. He is an athletic weapon that could get on the field quickly.
