College career

Jones joined the Tigers' football team as the backup quarterback in 1995. Halfway through his freshman year, he lost his redshirt in a game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Even after being stripped of his redshirt, he entered a three-man contest for the starting quarterback job. Jones got his chance to start for Mizzou in 1997. In his first season as starter, Jones lead the team to a 7-5 record, its first winning season in 13 years. He followed that up with an 8-4 record in 1998.

Pro career

Upon finishing up his senior season at Mizzou, Jones entered the 1999 NFL Draft as a projected 6th or 7th-round draft pick. It became clear that Jones' position in the NFL was unclear, but it was evident that he would not be a quarterback in the NFL. He ultimately went undrafted, and his professional career ended after playing sparingly for the Montreal Alouettes in 1999.[1]

Post-Football Life

Jones graduated from the University of Missouri School of Law with a Juris Doctor in 2003.

Jones officially joined the Fox Sports Net crew on July 24, 2008.[2]

In 2012, Jones founded law firm Jones Jennings, P.C. with partners Quentin Jennings and Kirra Jones. .[3]
