Chris Jones biography and NFL career overview.
Christopher Deshun Jones is a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, born July 3, 1994 (6'6", 310 lbs). He played college football at Mississippi State and was drafted by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, where he remains today. He's a three-time Super Bowl champion, three-time first-team All-Pro, and seven-time Pro Bowler.
Jones developed into a star gradually with Kansas City, breaking out in 2018 with 15.5 sacks and setting an NFL record with a sack in 11 consecutive games. He became a cornerstone of the Chiefs' dynastic run, helping them win Super Bowl LIV in 2020 and back-to-back titles in Super Bowls LVII and LVIII.
His best individual seasons came from 2022 to 2024, when he earned three straight first-team All-Pro selections while regularly disrupting games from the interior — a rare feat for a defensive tackle. In Super Bowl LVIII, his fourth-down pressure in overtime forced a 49ers field goal instead of a touchdown, directly enabling Kansas City's game-winning drive.
In March 2024, Jones signed a five-year, $158.75 million contract to stay with Kansas City, becoming the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history by average annual value.
Through the 2025 season, Jones has made seven straight Pro Bowls and remains one of the most feared interior pass rushers in the league, central to Kansas City's run as the NFL's defining team of the era.
