Former Alabama wide receiver Christion Jones has signed with the Toronto Argonauts, the Canadian Football League team has announced.

Jones was free to sign with the Argos after being released by the Miami Dolphins on May 2.

Jones joined the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent last year. A hamstring issue hampered him during training camp, and Miami waived Jones with an injury designation on Sept. 5. After clearing waivers and reverting to Miami's injured reserve list, he was released with an injury settlement on Sept. 9.

In three preseason games, Jones caught one pass for 10 yards, returned two punts for 18 yards and ran back six kickoffs for 151 yards. In Miami's final preseason game on Sept. 3, Jones lost a touchdown kickoff return to an illegal-block penalty.

The Dolphins brought Jones back by signing him on March 2.

Jones was an ASWA Class 6A All-State selection for Minor High School in Adamsville for the 2009 and 2010 seasons before playing four years for Alabama. While with the Crimson Tide, Jones earned the SEC Special Teams Player of the Year Award for the 2013 season.

At Alabama, Jones caught 85 passes for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns, returned 66 punts for 719 yards and three touchdowns and ran back 68 kickoffs for 1,727 yards and two touchdowns.

On Toronto, Jones joins former Troy linebacker Kanorris Davis.

The Argonauts start their three-day rookie camp on May 25 before convening training camp on May 28 at the University of Guelph. Toronto starts its two-game exhibition schedule on June 17 and opens the regular season against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on June 23.
