Chris Jones entered a sweet situation in the NFL in 2016, as he was drafted by a team on the rise (Kansas City) who could use a pass rusher.

The former Mississippi State star started more games than not in his first two seasons, and would be named an All-Rookie. Jones was a permanent starter for the Chiefs in his third year, accumulating 15.5 Sacks, 19 Tackles for Loss, and 29 Quarterback Hits, which netted him a Second Team All-Pro nod. Following that, Jones was consistently double-teamed, but remained Kansas City’s top pass-rusher.

From 2019 to 2024, Jones has been a perennial Pro Bowl Selection and is also on a three-year streak of First Team All-Pros.  The Chiefs have been to the last three Super Bowls (winning the first two), and while the offense receives most of the credit, these accolades would not have been possible without Jones leading the defense. 

This is a very special player who currently has 80.5 Sacks, 87 Tackles for Loss, and could secure so many more accolades in 2025.
