after training camp. Jones finished the 2009 season with 14 tackles. Heading into the 2010 season, Jones was not mentioned among the top contenders on the Roughriders to replace departing defensive linemen John Chick and Stevie Baggs, which suited him fine, "I’m always the undersized guy at my position. There are things that I have to do to remain a Roughrider but I know that I’m in a fight. Then again, I’m always fighting." Jones also sees significant playing time on special teams, where he is considered by some to be among the CFL's best. On Mar 13, 2011, Jones signed with the Montreal Alouettes. On May 7, 2012, Jones was released by the Alouettes. Personal Jones grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he was one of ten children. He attended Emsley A. Laney High School, the alma mater of Michael Jordan. Jones also spent a year at Fork Union Military Academy. He has one son, Tyleke, whom he fathered when he was 14. Jones spends time in the off-season mentoring troubled youth in his home town of Wilmington, and spends time during the season with young fans who have special needs. While Jones was with the Eskimos, he acquired the nickname 'Batman' after an incident in which he chased down and apprehended a mugger who had stolen a woman's purse. Jones said of the incident, "God just put me in a good place where I could help someone. He knows what kind of heart I have."
