Jets undrafted free agent defensive lineman Fred Jones is carrying the family name with him to a familiar place.

Jones’ uncle is Marvin Jones, who enjoyed a 10-year career playing linebacker for New York. Both attended Florida State but unlike Fred, Marvin was the 4th overall pick in the 1993 NFL draft.

Fred played in 46 games at Florida State and started 10 of them. In those games, he had 67 tackles, eight sacks, and three pass defenses. Meanwhile, Marvin recorded 711 total tackles, nine sacks, 10 forced fumbles, five interceptions and 30 pass defenses in his time with the Jets.

The two players went down very different paths to get to the NFL, but still ended up with the Jets in the end What were the chances of that happening?

Fred has some big shoes to fill with his uncle being a former Jet great. He will get every opportunity in training camp to make the roster, but even if he doesn’t, he can still say that he played on the same team that his uncle did.
