LMAO

They play different positions. And Roquan wasn’t a starter his first year.

I watched both play. Roquan Smith is a much better player than Jarvis Jones. It's not even a fair comparison.

Actually, it's 228 tackles, 18 TFLs, and 5.5 sacks after winning MVP of the SEC Championship game.
That being said, Jarvis Jones should have won the Butkus over Manti Te'o in 2012.

Jarvis Jones is not nearly as great an all around player as Roquan is.
In 2012 we ran directly at Jones the entire 2nd half. Nobody would ever do that to Roquan. Jones was an elite pass rusher. Smith an an elite everything. He's Rueben Foster.

I'm as big of a Jarvis Jones fan as anyone... Hung out with him a bunch while he was down in Orlando preparing for the draft. He's an awesome human being... with all that said, admitting my bias, it's a pretty easy call... Roquan is the better all around player. As others have said... Jarvis has elite pass rushing skills... Roquan is great at literally everything. He's going to be the hardest cog in the defense to replace IMO by far.
