One of the most intriguing storylines that has perhaps flown under the radar following the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2016 season was the play of rookie defensive lineman , who at just 22 years old, was thrust into more playing time than many probably expected this early in his career.
With key injuries to veteran defensive linemen and starters Allen Bailey and Jaye Howard before the season was even halfway through, the time had come for Jones to step up for the Chiefs’ defense, and that’s exactly what he did.
At 6 feet 5 and 310 pounds with an affinity for getting after opposing quarterbacks, Jones quickly established himself as a fan favorite, not only for what he was able to do on the field, but also for an infectious personality and playful demeanor not normally befitting a man of his size.
