Early years[edit]

Professional career[edit]
Pre-draft[edit]
Coming out of college, Jones was projected by analysts and scouts to be drafted in the second round. He was ranked the eighth-best defensive tackle and the 48th-best prospect by NFLDraftScout.com. Jones was invited to the NFL Combine and completed the entire workout and all the positional drills.[11] While running the 40-yard dash, Jones had a wardrobe malfunction that exposed his genitalia before falling to the ground to fix the issue. This went viral on social media.[12] He attended Mississippi State's Pro Day, but decided he was satisfied with his combine performance and only performed positional drills.
