The five-foot-ten, 215-pound running back played college football at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The Arizona Cardinals chose Jones with seventh overall pick during the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft.

He later signed a deal with the Chicago Bears in 2004, where he played until 2006.
Jones then played with the New York Jets from 2007 until 2009 and the Kansas City Chiefs from 2010 until 2011. Jones earned Pro Bowl honors in 2008, the same year he led the AFC in rushing.
