Datone Jones did not have the career path he thought he would have when he was drafted by the Green Bay Packers with the 26th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. After failing to carve out a starting role in Dom Capers defense in Green Bay in his first four NFL seasons, Jones has been with four different teams since. Initially signed by the Minnesota Vikings, an injury in early September cost him his roster spot and he was released in early September 2017. Jones then signed with the Detroit Lions in October, but was waived after just three and a half weeks.
