Jones played in the NFL for 13 seasons, first with the Los Angles Raiders (19984-87) then with the Houston Oilers (1988-93) and finishing his career with the Green Bay Packers. Jones's left the NFL on top, after helping to lead the Packers to a Super Bowl victory in 1997. Jones is a stockbroker and the president of two firms, Amaroq Systems, Inc. and Daylight Capital L.L.C.
