Template:Infobox NHLactiveSean Jones (born March 2, 1982 in Template:City-state) is an American football safety for the Cleveland Browns in the National Football League. He was originally drafted by the Browns in the second round (59th overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft. He played college football for the University of Georgia.
High school years
Jones attended Newbury Park High School where he played both as a quarterback and a defensive end. He passed for 2,490 yards and 31 touchdowns and also rushed for 806 yards with 11 touchdowns as a senior. He was an avid poster of the TATE message board on the Philadelphia Eagles website as a youth. Because of this, many of his childhood friends often referred to him as a TATER.
College career
He played in 37 games at the University of Georgia, starting 24 times and finished with 250 tackles, 1 sack, 10 stops for losses, four quarterback pressures, three fumble recoveries, seven interceptions, and four blocked kicks. He was an education major.
Professional career
Early years
Jones was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the second round (59th overall) in the 2004 NFL Draft. However, he missed his entire rookie season due to a knee injury suffered before the start of the season. In the 2005 season he appeared in all 16 games, playing mostly on special teams. He made his NFL debut versus the Cincinnati Bengals on September 11 and finished the season with 23 total tackles.
Breakout seasons
Jones had his best statistical season in 2006. He started all 16 regular season games and had a breakout season recording 111 tackles and led all strong safeties with 5 interceptions. He made a career high 13 tackles at the Cincinnati Bengals on September 17. He was named the AFC Defensive Player of the week with three tackles and two interceptions versus the New York Jets on October 29.
Just as he did in the previous season, he started in all 16 regular season games of the 2007 season. He had 96 tackles and five interceptions, which again led all players at his position.
