Alright, so I was just kicking back the other day, scrolling through some sports stuff, you know how it is. Then Jon Jones’ name popped up, the UFC guy. And it clicked in my head – wait a second, didn’t he have brothers who played football? Like, NFL football? I had this vague memory, but I wasn’t totally sure.
So, curiosity got the better of me. I decided to actually look it up instead of just wondering. Fired up the old search engine, typed in something simple like ‘jon jones brothers nfl’. Didn’t need anything fancy.
Digging In A Bit
Sure enough, results started flooding in. Took like two seconds. Yep, two brothers. Arthur Jones and Chandler Jones. Okay, so my memory wasn’t totally shot.
I started reading a bit about them, just clicking through some basic info pages. Didn’t go super deep, just wanted the main points.
- Arthur, he was the older one. Played defensive tackle. Remembered seeing him play, actually. Big dude. He was with the Ravens for a while, got a Super Bowl ring with them. Then went to the Colts, had a stint with Washington too. Solid career, definitely made his mark.
- Then there’s Chandler. The younger brother. Man, this guy was an absolute monster off the edge. Defensive end, sometimes linebacker. Played for the Patriots first, got a ring there too. Then he went to the Cardinals and just went off, racking up sacks like crazy. Finished up with the Raiders more recently. Definitely a top-tier pass rusher for a long time.
Putting It Together
So yeah, my quick little search confirmed it. Three brothers, all pro athletes at the highest level. Jon in the UFC, arguably one of the greatest, and then Arthur and Chandler, both making it big in the NFL, both winning Super Bowls.
It’s pretty wild when you stop and think about it. One family producing that much top-tier athletic talent across different, really demanding sports. You gotta wonder about the genetics, the upbringing, the drive. Must have been some intense competition growing up in that household.
Anyway, that was my little dive into the Jones brothers’ NFL connection. Just wanted to satisfy my own curiosity and confirm what I thought I remembered. Pretty impressive family, gotta say.
