Linebacker

Deion Jones

No. 45 · 11th season

Deion Jones is going home.

Deion Jones grew up in New Orleans. Played high school football there. Went to LSU just down the road. Then spent years building a career elsewhere—most recently with the Atlanta Falcons—before landing as a free agent with nowhere certain to go. Now the New Orleans Saints have signed him to a one-year deal, and he is coming back.

With this move, Jones will have played for every team in the NFC South. It is a stat that lands differently when you know where he is from. This is not just a roster addition. This is a linebacker returning to the place that made him, after a path that took him through the division his hometown team plays in.
