The Falcons gave middle linebacker Deion Jones a long-term extension in 2019 because he’s a perfect fit for the modern NFL game.
Jones is fast, physical and exceptional in coverage. No play better showcases this than his leaping interception of Drew Brees in the red zone to seal a win over the Saints back in 2017.
Atlanta’s young play-maker recently relived the incredible game-saving pick for the team’s official website. Check out this awesome Falcons moment, as described in Jones’ own words below:
