Dead At 39
Published
Former NFL star Arthur Jones — the brother of UFC legend Jon Jones and football player Chandler Jones — has died, the Baltimore Ravens announced Friday.
He was 39 years old.
Details surrounding his death have not been announced.
Jones – a Super Bowl champion in 2013 — played for Baltimore, Indianapolis and Washington during his seven-year career. He tallied 173 tackles, 10 sacks and two forced fumbles.
In Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers, Jones had a fumble recovery, a sack and two tackles.
He was a fifth-round pick out of Syracuse in 2010 … earning all-conference honors in three seasons.
“Arthur’s presence was a gift to everyone he encountered,” the Ravens said. “His big, bright smile, infectious energy and eternal positivity created a presence that continuously uplifted others.”
“He was kind, courteous and enthusiastic — always displaying a love for family, teammates and friends.”
“We send our deepest condolences to the Jones family and all who loved Arthur.”
Arthur is Jon and Chandler’s older brother … with all three thriving at the professional level in their respective fields — Chandler played 11 seasons in the league with the Patriots, Cardinals and Raiders … and Jon is widely considered the greatest fighter in UFC history.
