Add another premier prospect to the list of those not participating in drills at the NFL Combine.

Pass rushing prospect Jarvis Jones, who led the nation in sacks (14.5), tackles for loss (24.5) and forced fumbles (7) will skip the workouts at the NFL Combine. The Georgia product has chosen to wait until his pro day on March 21st according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Jones’ presence at the Combine is important as he has a medical condition that teams want to investigate further. Jones has a narrowing of the spinal column called spinal stenosis. Still, Jones is widely considered a top 10 pick.
