Cardale Jones' draft stock took a hit after he lost his starting spot at Ohio State for his junior year, but the national champion is one of many Buckeyes expected to go relatively early in the 2016 NFL Draft.

In an interview with the Akron Beacon Journal, Jones' former coach Urban Meyer evaluated Jones as an overall player, and speculated that the college environment may have held Jones back.

Via the Akron Beacon Journal:

Jones, who is never afraid of sharing his opinions on Twitter, famously tweeted that he didn't come to Ohio State "to play school."

Meyer also said that he isn't sure Cleveland would be a good place for Jones to land. Browns fans started a #FailForCardale movement last year calling for the team to draft Jones.

#TBT still can't believe I tweeted something as stupid as this but hey, we live and we learn, after your religion/ pic.twitter.com/mqCLK2uEHw
