In 2000, Jones was an NFL first-round draft pick for the Arizona Cardinals and over his twelve year pro career he also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, and Kansas City Chiefs. Jones is the only player in NFL history to earn 500+ rushing yards on five different NFL teams and one of only 26 running backs to be a member of the Elite 10K yard Rushing Club. Jones is recognized as a sure-fire NFL Hall of Famecandidate.

He was voted high school class president for three consecutive years at Powell Valley High School and known as a football star who led his team in back-to-back state championships in 1994 and 1995. Jones still holds the VHSL record for the most rushing yards in a single season (3314), and inducted into the Virginia High School League Hall of Fame.

His mother Betty worked in the coal mines as the only African-American for 19 years and his father, Thomas worked as a news commentator at a local television station. Jones credits his parents, five sisters and brother Julius who played seven years in the NFL with instilling the ambition and strong work ethic that has garnered him success throughout his career.

An all-encompassing view of his family life has been recorded by his parents’ memoirs in their book ‘Blessings from the Dust’ (Amazon).

From humble beginnings, Jones has worked his way to fame and fortune. With natural good looks, an athletic physique, and God-given talent, Jones is a top candidate for new leading male roles and in line to take on a new journey within the entertainment sector.
