[1] A 1982 graduate of South Oak Cliff High School and former player for Southern Methodist University,[2] Jones played in 11 seasons for the Bucs and Cincinnati Bengals from 1986 to 1996.
[3] Running for the SMU Mustangs track and field program, he was an All-American in the 400 meters, and won national titles with the 1,600-meter relay team in 1984 and 1986.
There was concern that his contract, described as "terrible" by sports agents, would set a bad precedent in negotiations that year.
Jones' claim to fame is having caught Bo Jackson, who appeared to have a touchdown, from behind after an 88-yard run in 1990.
