Former Browns, Broncos OL Tony Jones Dies at Age 54

The announced two-time Super Bowl champion offensive tackle Tony Jones has died at the age of 54.

Jones won back-to-back Super Bowls with the 1997 and 1998 Broncos. He started every game during those two seasons, manning right tackle in 1997 before protecting Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway's blindside in 1998.

The Broncos' offense was sensational both years, leading the NFL in scoring in 1997 and finishing second in points per game in 1998, when Denver started 13-0.

Jones played 13 NFL seasons. He started his career with the Cleveland Browns in 1988 as an undrafted free agent out of Western Carolina and earned second-team All-Pro honors in 1994.
