From Walters Football:

Landry "Lance" Jones*, QB, Oklahoma
Height: 6-4. Weight: 216.
Projected 40 Time: 4.81.
Projected Round (2012): Top 15 Pick.
10/21/11: Jones has led Oklahoma to some big wins and huge offensive days. He has improved his play on the road by reducing his interceptions. For the season, Jones has completed 68 percent of his passes for 2,177 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. He has shown the big-armed pocket presence to be franchise quarterback at the next level.

8/18/11: Jones is a big, strong-armed signal caller. He is adept at dropping back and working through his progressions to find an open receiver. Last year, Jones was able to take advantage of the high caliber of wideouts on the field with him and a strong running game. By the time he enters the draft, Jones should have a lot of experience.

When Sam Bradford was injured in 2009, the true freshman Jones was pressed into starting duty and performed well. He completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 3,198 yards, 26 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. In 2010, Jones made big strides as a sophomore when he completed 65 percent of his passes for 4,718 yards with 38 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Jones should put up some staggering numbers in 2011 with wide receivers Ryan Broyles and Kenny Stills. Putting up big numbers is nothing new for Jones, so leading the Sooners to max out their talent could help his draft status more than anything. If Jones leads Oklahoma to the National Championship game, he could push his stock into the top five of the draft.
