Mike Bell. Khiry Robinson. Chris Ivory. These are names that will mostly resonate with you if you’re a Saints fan, but they aren’t going to send shockwaves throughout the league. What do they have in common? They all became solid role running backs in Sean Payton’s offenses for the New Orleans Saints. Tony Jones is looking to join them this season.
A 2020 undrafted free agent signing from the Saints, Jones made waves in his first preseason appearance against the Baltimore Ravens by rushing for 82 yards on seven carries, with an 18-yard touchdown run an 28-yard carry for good measure.
