Reshad Jones is coming off one of his best seasons in the NFL and has put himself in place to be considered one of the best safeties in the AFC. Drafted in 2010 by the Miami Dolphins in the 5th round, Jones has played very well at the position and has emerged as one of the teams vocal leaders on the field and in the locker room.
Jones has 371 tackles and 6.5 sacks to go along with 26 pass defenses and 10 interceptions. He is one of the Dolphins top defenders.
In 2012 Jones was named to the Pro-Football Focus 2nd all-NFL team. He has not made the pro-bowl.
In 2014, Jones missed the first four games for violating the leagues substance abuse policy but he returned to start the last 12 games of the season adding three interceptions and 80 combined tackles.
