D.J. Jones’ impact on the 49ers stretches far beyond the field

Hey Denver, you’re lucky.

When DJ Jones shared his parting words with the Faithful, he highlighted the opportunity San Francisco gave him back in 2017, taking a JUCO-turned-Ole Miss product and forming him into one of the most formidable defensive forces in the league.

And while he’ll be remembered as one of the guys who set the tone for the quality of defense that the Niners have become known for, the true Faithful will also remember him for his contributions off the field.

You see, from a young age, Jones had been taught the importance of serving others.
