Summary
Logan Jones anchored Iowa’s Joe Moore Award–winning offensive line and won the Rimington Trophy after logging more than 2,800 snaps as a four-year starter. He shows good athletic traits and excellent consistency in Iowa’s zone-blocking system. Jones likely projects as a center only at the next level and lacks the ideal size and length the NFL typically covets, despite his stellar college career. He’s a savvy, intelligent player who could thrive in a zone or pin-and-pull scheme.
About
- 2025: Unanimous All-American
- 2025: Rimington Trophy winner (nation’s top C)
Strengths
- Excellent feet and athleticism to reach frontside defenders and cut off backside pursuit; smooth mover in space and to the second level.
- Good initial strike in pass protection with the footwork to mirror, clamp and stone defenders on counters.
- High football IQ, consistently setting protections, identifying the Mike and adjusting the point when needed.
Weaknesses
- Struggles to move head-up defensive linemen in the run game and anchor consistently against power in pass protection.
- Lacks the ideal size and length NFL teams prefer; combine measurements will be closely scrutinized.
- Smaller pass-protection sample in a run-heavy offense and has shown occasional issues picking up games and exotic blitzes.
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 4.90 seconds
- Vertical jump: 32 inches
- 20-yard shuttle run: 4.59 seconds
- Broad jump: 9 feet, 2 inches
- 3-cone drill: 7.46 seconds

Bears' Logan Jones: Selected by Bears
The Bears selected Jones in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 57th overall.
Jones is light (6-foot-3, 299 pounds) and even more so has short arms (30 and 3/4 inches), but in literally every other regard the Iowa product is a blue-chip center. Despite his technically smallish build, there's very little concern about Jones translating at the next level. That's in large part due to his rare athleticism -- it's a lot easier to deal with short arms when you run a 4.9-second 40 with strong jumps and agility testing. Jones should be at least an average starting NFL center soon or immediately.
