With the news of the release of back up running back and special teams ace Taiwan Jones comes the end of an era. Jones was the last player to be drafted under the ownership of the late Al Davis.

Selected in the fourth round of the 2011 draft, Jones was never able to completely find his way with the team.

In his rookie season, Jones saw action at both running back and on special teams. In 2013, he made a switch to the defensive side of the ball as a cornerback. However, that move did not last long.
