The Middletown (N.J.) HS graduate still shares the Rutgers all-time interception record with 14. A co-captain of the 1974 squad, Jones was an AP Honorable Mention All-East selection in 1972 and a second-team AP All-East choice in 1973. He led the Scarlet Knights squad with seven interceptions in 1974 and was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the ninth round in 1975. He started at strong safety for the Buffalo Bills in 1975 and continued his brilliant career in the CFL with the Edmonton Eskimos and the British Columbia Lions from 1976 until 1985. He led the league with 11 interceptions in 1980.
