Just last month, Jones expressed excitement about getting an opportunity with the Cardinals.

“They use their linebackers everywhere,” he told the Clarion-Ledger. “They line guys up on the end with their hand on the ground, they stand them up off the line and drop them into coverage and they love to bring a lot of different blitzes.”

Jones, who led the FCS in tackles for loss in 2015, with 25.5, recorded 82 total tackles and 19.5 for loss last season.
