Jones was the 26th overall selection in the 2013 draft by the Green Bay Packers. He spent four season in Green Bay, starting just 7 games and putting up nine sacks in 59 appearances.
From there he moved on to San Francisco, but appeared in just three games before being cut. Then the Cowboys signed him, where Rod Marinelli was the team’s defensive coordinator.
