Dennis Allen: 'Taiwan Jones is one of NFL's best special teams players'

Dennis Allen has said that Taiwan Jones is one of the best special teams players in the NFL.

The cornerback has played a variety of roles for the Oakland Raiders throughout the 2013 season, including taking on the role of kick returner.

The head coach told the team's official website: "I think Taiwan Jones is, if he's not the best special teams player in the league, he's one of the best special teams players in the league. He's a difference maker in all of our coverage units."

Jones has returned 24 kicks for 572 yards, as well as making 13 tackles and a forced fumble on defense.
