Houston Texans

Jones was selected by the Houston Texans in the sixth round (198th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.[4]

He was released by the Houston Texans on August 31, 2013.[5]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jones was claimed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after his release from the Houston Texans on September 1, 2013 and was inactive for the Tampa Bay’s season opener against the New York Jets. He was released by the Buccaneers on September 10, 2013.[6]

New England Patriots

2013

After the Buccaneers waived Jones, the New England Patriots claimed him off waivers. Jones recorded his first career sack against the Cincinnati Bengals on October 6, 2013. On October 20, during overtime of the Patriots' Week 7 game against the New York Jets, Jones was called for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct call on a Nick Folk missed 56-yard field goal that would have given the Patriots the ball around midfield. The call was for violating a rule, altered that season, prohibiting pushing a teammate into the opponent's formation (it was the first time that call had been made). Folk went on to hit a 42-yard field goal that gave the Jets the win, in a game where Jones also recorded two sacks.[7]

Jones finished the season with 6.0 sacks, which was 2nd amongst rookies.[8]

2014

The following season, Jones made up for his penalty which gave the Jets the victory over the Patriots in 2013. In the same scenario from the previous season, the Jets attempted a game winning field goal in the dying seconds of the game, but instead of taking a penalty which would have allowed the Jets a better chance at the attempt, Jones blocked Nick Folk's kick, securing the victory for the Patriots. The feat also earned him AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for Week 7 of the 2014 NFL season.

2015

Jones and the Patriots won Super Bowl XLIX over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks, Jones allegedly played the game with a torn calf.[9] Jones calf injury caused him to miss the entire 2015 NFL season.[10]

The Patriots waived Jones on April 15, 2016.[11]

Miami Dolphins

2016

February 28, 2016, on the NFL 40 yard dash, Jones' wardrobe malfuctioned. In the middle of the run, his tight shorts ripped exposing his genitals. He had to throw himself on the ground to cover up. NFL 40 yard dash
