Charlie Jones thinks the Purdue offense will work well in the NFL.

Charlie Jones, a wide receiver out of Purdue, was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the April draft.

In a press conference on Friday, Jones stated that he thought the pro-style system the Boilermakers used while he was a player there would translate well to his tenure with the Bengals.

It’s absolutely something I wanted to be a part of, and I believe it transfers quite well to the NFL, according to Jones.

Jones told Mohammed Ahmad of Cleveland.com that Joe Burrow, his new quarterback, contacted him after being selected, so they have spoken but have not yet had a formal meeting.

The two new teammates will have plenty of time to get to know one another before the season starts because there are still a few more months of the offseason.
