David Jones (born September 19, 1985) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Wingate Bulldogs and was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL draft. Jones has also played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Washington Redskins.
Jones attended Wingate University, where he earned the name Jam Hands Jones. He is the first player ever from his college to be drafted to the NFL. He played between 2003 and 2006, where he made 15 interceptions and 110 tackles. He was a marketing major.
Jones was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the fifth round (145th overall) of the 2007 NFL draft. He played in all five of their preseason games, but was then cut by the Saints.
Jones was claimed off of waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals on September 9, 2007.
Jones was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars for safety Reggie Nelson and a conditional draft pick on September 4, 2010. It was later announced that the conditions for the draft pick were not met, so this was a one-for-one trade. Jones was released from the Jaguars on September 12, 2011. He was re-signed on December 3.
On July 24, 2012, Jones signed with the Washington Redskins. He was released on August 31, 2012, for final cuts before the start of the 2012 season. The Redskins re-signed him on September 25. After playing five games, he was waived again on November 6.
