The 6-foot-1, 221-pound linebacker has registered 244 tackles, 21 pass defenses, six interceptions and two defensive touchdowns since the Falcons drafted him in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Jones was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2017, alongside Falcons safety Keanu Neal, another draft pick from that same class.

Because of his rapid ascension in the NFL linebacker ranks, Jones earned high praise from Pro Football Focus in their recent top 25 players under 25 list.
