Arthur Willis Jones III (born June 3, 1986) is an American football defensive tackle who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Syracuse, and was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Jones has also played for the Indianapolis Colts. He is also the older brother of UFC fighter Jon Jones, and Chandler Jones of the Arizona Cardinals.
Jones was born in Rochester, New York to parents Arthur Jr. and Camille Jones. After moving to Endicott, New York, Jones attended Union–Endicott High School. At Union–Endicott he played both football and wrestled. As a senior, he had 64 tackles, six sacks, and one fumble recovery to help lead Union–Endicott to a Section IV championship. Following that championship season, Jones was ranked as the 18th best prospect in New York by SuperPrep.
Considered only a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, Jones was not ranked among the nation's best defensive tackle prospects. He chose Syracuse over Pittsburgh and Rutgers.
