Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones began the 2016 season with a torn labrum. That same torn labrum in his left shoulder that prematurely ended his 2016 campaign after six games.

Despite playing a little more than a handful of games, Jones’ opinion of himself has not changed this offseason. When speaking to the media during OTAs, Jones still firmly believes he’s among the best safeties in the NFL.

“Numbers don’t lie,” Jones said. “My numbers are top of the line of all of them if we look at the numbers. I don’t really worry about that now. The contract is behind me. Everything is cool. I’ll be here for a while. My main focus is to go out and do everything I can to help this team win some football games.”

The contract Jones alluded to was the five-year, $55 million extension he received in March, with $35 million of it guaranteed. Although he was injured much of last season, Jones’ numbers have shown throughout the years he is among the game’s elite safeties.

In 2015, Jones was the only player in the NFL to record 100 tackles and five interceptions. For his efforts, Jones was named to the 2015 AFC Pro Bowl team. He also ranked No. 64 on NFL Network’s The Top 100 Players of 2016.

Although the Dolphins finished 10-6 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2008, their defense truly missed Jones last season. He is a sure tackler and one of the heartbeats of the Dolphins defense. At 29 years old and in the prime of his career, Jones is poised to have another Pro Bowl season at safety in 2017.
