Reshad Jones
Reshad Monquez Jones (born February 25, 1988) is an American former professional football player who was a safety in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the Georgia Bulldogs. He was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL draft.
Reshad was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated from Booker T. Washington High School where he earned AAAA All-State and Defensive Player of the Year honors from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Georgia Sports Writers Association as a senior. Jones was the no. 1 safety in the country according to PrepStar 100 and Rivals Top 100. Jones was also the Fox Sports Net South Countdown to Signing Day All-South First Team defensive back.
Jones was a three-year letterman and two-year starter at Georgia. Reshad finished his college career playing in 39 games with 27 starts and recording career totals of 206 tackles (129 solos), including 10 stops for losses. Jones batted away 13 passes and intercepted 11 others for 174 yards. The stand out safety became the eighth player since statistics were kept in 1950 to lead the team in interceptions in consecutive seasons. As a sophomore, Reshad was named second-team Sophomore All-American and second-team All-SEC honors while winning the team's Most Improved Defensive Back Award. Jones repeated the feature as a junior and was named as a second-team All-SEC selection and earned the team's Most Improved Player Award for defense.
On January 4, 2010, Jones announced that he would forgo his senior season at Georgia and enter the 2010 NFL draft, as he was projected to be a second round pick by NFL draft experts. He was one of 54 collegiate defensive backs to attend the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana and completed all of the combine drills. He finished tied for third among all defensive backs in the bench press, tied for fifth in the vertical jump, and finished 21st in the 40-yard dash. On March 16, 2010, he attended Georgia's pro day and improved his times in the 40-yard dash (4.50s) and 20-yard dash (2.64s) and ran positional drills for scouts and team representatives. He was linked to the Miami Dolphins after attending a dinner with team personnel during a two-day visit. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Jones was projected to be a third or fourth round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked the third best strong safety prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.
The Miami Dolphins selected Jones in the fifth round (163rd overall) of the 2010 NFL draft. The Miami Dolphins traded their sixth (174th overall) and seventh round (219th overall) selections to the Washington Redskins to acquire the Redskins' fifth round pick and select Jones. He was the 13th safety selected in 2010.
On July 14, 2010, the Dolphins signed Jones to a four-year, $1.95 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $160,400.
He entered training camp competing against Tyrone Culver and Chris Clemons for job as the starting free safety after it was left vacant by the departure of Gibril Wilson. Head coach Tony Sparano named Jones the backup free safety behind Chris Clemons to start the regular season.
He made his professional regular season debut in the Miami Dolphins' season-opening 15–10 victory at the Buffalo Bills. He was inactive for two consecutive games (Weeks 8–9) after suffering a knee injury during the Dolphins' 23–22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On November 14, 2010, Jones recorded three solo tackles, two pass deflections, his first career sack, and made his first career interception off a pass by quarterback Vince Young during a 29–17 victory against the Tennessee Titans. The following week, he earned his first career start at free safety in place of Chris Clemons who suffered a hamstring injury the previous week. He recorded a season-high five combined tackles in the Dolphins' 16–0 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was sidelined for the Dolphins' Week 12 victory at the Oakland Raiders after he suffered an ankle injury. He finished his rookie season with 21 combined tackles (18 solo), two pass deflections, an interception, and a sack in 13 games and two starts.
