Second-year safety Brandon Jones has become a valued weapon for the Miami Dolphins defense.
Jones has a unique ability to pressure the quarterback from his defensive back position, making him one of the more versatile players on the field.
The Miami defense shined yet again on Monday Night Football against the Saints and Jones was a huge part of it.
In the third quarter, Jones brought down rookie quarterback Ian book on a crucial third-down play, keeping the momentum on the Miami side.

The sack marked Jones’ fifth on the season, more than any other defensive back in the NFL this year.
Jones came up big later in the half snagging his first career interception to seal the Miami victory.
DEFENSE COMES UP BIG! @BlessedJones33 with the INT! 🙌
