Not often do fifth-round picks go on to make multiple Pro Bowls, but that's exactly what former Miami Dolphins defensive back Reshad Jones accomplished during his 10-year NFL career.
Jones was an All-SEC and All-American safety at Georgia before the Dolphins took him in the fifth round (No. 163 overall) of the 2010 NFL draft. In his 10 seasons, all with the Dolphins, he appeared in 128 games and recorded 776 tackles, 55 passes defensed, 21 interceptions, 10.5 sacks, seven fumble recoveries and three touchdowns.
Now, after being out of the league for six years, Jones is reflecting on his time in Miami and the fact that he spent his entire career in South Florida.
"For me to be able to play 10 years for a franchise like the Miami Dolphins, it was special," Jones said on "The Dive Bar Podcast" this week. "I wanted to end up coming to the Miami Dolphins... being able to play for one franchise for 10 years, that's legendary. That's a blessing."
Jones' six defensive touchdowns (four interceptions and two fumble recoveries) are the second-most in franchise history, only behind Jason Taylor, who had nine. His 599 solo tackles are also the second-most behind Zach Thomas, who had 1,042 with Miami.
