So a guy defends himself after a guy made an extremely unnecessary block and the guy defending himself gets ejected, love NFL logic #NEvsCLE

Jones was a standout cornerback and return man for Alabama, and he had a major impact on the Crimson Tide’s championship in 2015. The New England Patriots drafted Jones in the second round (60th overall) of the 2016 NFL draft.
