Reshad Jones played the entire 2010s with the Miami Dolphins, and the Georgia Bulldog was arguably one of the more underrated defensive backs during that time. A fifth-round pick in 2010, he became a starting safety for the Fins in his second season and settled into a regular role on the back end.

While his play could be inconsistent, he was a two-time Pro Bowl selection in 2015 and 2017. Those seasons showed the best version of him as a hard-hitting safety who could cover and make plays on the ball. He had 21 interceptions over his Dolphins career and was productive in the box, piling up tackles year after year.

In three separate seasons, Jones had well over 100 tackles and finished with 776 overall in Miami. He stayed with the team through the entire stretch and remained a starter for most of that run. The Dolphins released him in March 2020 after injuries limited him in 2019, ending a 10-year career that was spent entirely in South Florida.

With the Dolphins, he was a durable safety who put up solid numbers without always getting the wider recognition. The Pro Bowl nods in 2015 and 2017 marked the peaks, and the release came after a long run with the same team.
