Jones has been knocking on the doorway of the NFL’s most prestigious defensive honor for several years. He designed next staff All-Pro in 2018, 2020 and 2021, and achieved the Pro Bowl each and every year from ’19 to ’21. In 2022, he made a major leap, finishing third in Defensive Player of the Year voting right after racking up 15.5 sacks for the Super Bowl champions.
Inspite of his optimism, record is not on Jones’s facet: no Chief has at any time gained the AP’s Defensive Participant of the Yr award.
