Perhaps it’s a product of playing in Arizona, but Jones doesn’t get as much recognition as he should. Over the last five seasons, he hasn’t posted less than 11 sacks or 18 quarterback hits. Even though he’s now 30 years old, Jones doesn’t seem to be slowing down, either. In 2019, he posted 19 sacks and tied T.J. Watt for the league lead with eight forced fumbles.
